Elwood’s noisy, shaky ‘L’ level apartment was one of the locations that didn’t stand the test of time. Today, it’s a small park that sits in front of Plymouth Restaurant and Roof Top Bar (327 S. Plymouth Court). Much quieter than Elwood’s apartment, the three-level Plymouth offers one of Chicago’s best year-round rooftop spots in the city. Grab a d...
Who could forget Aretha Franklin busting out in song after she was disrespected by her husband for being a woman? She just wanted a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Chez Paul has since closed, but live...
Who could possibly forget the cop car pileup? This hilariously overdone police chase ends with one of the biggest car crashes in cinema history. Okay, maybe comedy cinema history. None the less, an epic scene for any genre, this crash took place on Lake and LaSalle. So next time you drive by, reminisce about the pileup scene, but pay attention to t...
