No not Five faces, the little hot dog/hamburger place with 98% drunken clientele, but the I believe Yorktrader was talking about a bar called Faces. I don't personally remember it, but have heard people talk about it (in almost a legendary way). I think this bar was popular in the 1970s or maybe early 1980s and it was on Rush Street, not Division. I think it was down where Tavern on Rush or where Jilly's is now, but I don't know for sure. Anyone know? BTW, Mr. Kelly's was the name of the place which Gibson's Steak House now occupies. Apparently it was a great lounge-type place and I heard that Sammy, Dean, etc. would stop in often. That is where all the photos inside Gibson's came from...
I guess the SW corner... across the street from the Oak Bank... NW = Bank NE = Some gay lookin' cloth store SE = ... I forgot... ... or was that Walton... ... Sheesh... I don't hang out at Rush... it's tourist and old people central... Bwahahahahahahaha ... Anyways... as it a restaurant or a bar??? ... Ahhh... I don't feel like walking over there to check... It's too damn cold...
I was still a kid at the time, but if my memory serves, Faces was located right where Hunt Club is(was?). Somehow I remember that there was a second level that faced east with large windows
yes, that makes sense. It seems the only place that still stands in its original form from those days is the Solomon Cooper on the corner of Cedar and Rush
A neighbor of my parents worked at that drug store as far back as the 60's. I'd be curious as to when it opened.
