Does anyone remember the two taverns that were located on Broadway between Montrose and Wilson Ave in Uptown called the War Bonnet and the Tee Pee Inn? There was a barber shop close by that my Father used to take me to to get my hair cut when I was little,and I can remember the tavern signs outside of each establishment one that had an Indian headress and the other a tee pee. I recall there always being trouble there with violent incidents. One time while shopping with my Mother along Broadway a bunch of police cars converged on the scene along with a Chicago fire ambulance that took a guy who was bleeding profusely away from the scene. The CTAs Wilson yards of the El line were directly behind these places.
