You have just taken the Way Back Machine to 1969. Second City has just introduced its sketch comedy and improve humor. Nixon is President, war is raging and the young Boomers are pissed and active in causes ranging from civil rights to to burning bras and draft cards. Welcome to the Old Town Ale House. It’s our kind of dump. No brass, no ferns, no credit card accepted. You expect the old SNL comedians to enter, and many old comedians do enter. Enjoy the cross-generational groupings, conversations, and the art.
Great paintings!! Cool interior.
