Lonski moved his "tavern/restauant" to the 1100 block of N. North Branch St.in the 60's. He lived on the NW side of the city. He passed away a few years ago. He was an honorable man..............There are stories of his Father---who owned the original tavern on Divsion St.---In the 1930's (I think)---2 robbers, armed w/guns tried to rob his tavern, but he refused to give them any money &

I've tried just about everywhere---all to no avail. I was hoping that someone out there just might have some family or personal photos of buildings (or people) which would show just what life was like there; or even know some people who lived there---say in the 1930's. Goose Island was in a sort of time warp wherein it was about 10 years behind the way people lived in the rest of Chicago.
