Perhaps more than a few of you have been there waiting for the wedding "festivities" to begin at St Michael's around the corner......Marge's was the subject of a failed attempt to reopen, and now it appears that this corner pub is just history.

I just walked past Marge's Sunday on my way to Twin A's. I wondered what the story was there...
Sadly, I've not been in Chicago long enough to know any of these except the Golden Ox, and I think I recall the Black Forrest, but never ate at either of them.
