This has nothing to do with 69th Street, but here is the skinny. It was called Rocky's Bait Shop, located just south of Navy Pier. Yes, it had an address...142 North Streeter Drive, Chicago IL. The Panzo family owned and operated it. THE PANZO FAMILY IS ITALIAN YES ITALIAN. That is the answer to your question. p.s.Best shrimp in a bag ever.
