General Reports

[StanleyStankas]

Can you imagine the boom the migrants would have brought to the area? More hookers for sure. And also more dancers and workers for the bars and clubs on Mannheim. It would have been great.

I think it all stems back to the j's issue imo it brought too much attention to the area and especially since uncle tommy has an office right up the street so really on his watch. He is a politician at heart "citizens arrest, citizens arrest" type so I am sure after the shooting and death he was more than willing to help out. The street is dead. The little gangbanger places no guy like us is going to want to go in, spread money around even if there are women hustling. I mean I for one would want nothing to do with all that. I don't speak spanish and one has to drive there and park in their lots so no not in the mood to get smashed windows or tires slashed because I was hitting on one of the hood rat's gf's. Way too old for that do do. Yea what you say as well as what I say of course means nothing to the politician. I know the flea vendors I encounter in melrose are pissed off because where they moved the maxwell street Sunday flea up to is supposed to open in June, however right not it is one of the places where they are keeping the migrants. Now a long the ryan on the east side at roosevelt that has been there for years. Also halsted at 18th under the ryan. It's just not going to change. I mean really how bad was it in their countries that they want to be hoarded in chicago like this? Answer must be pretty bad or terrible. It's sad really. The people making these decisions don't and won't be in the same room as these people and the neighborhood people are having meetings as they don't want them around either. Again just pawns for politics imo. Stosh P.S. Agree though heim would have been perfect. It's just too far away and too policially small for them to really invest time and money in that becuase they want that chicago voter! Not leyden township necessarily.

Mr illini and I agree with everything you posted. They pulled the trigger no pun intended too fast! Believe it or not regal gets halfway decent reviews on trip advisor, et al. I have seen some questionable characters come in and out, however no real hangers or assorted bs that was definitely at lido. That place constantly had uncle dart's boys out in front for one reason or the other. Once torn down like you mentioned vinn is already then I posted about that commercial carpet place being soon at the wrecking ball those empty lots are going to stay empty. It's just not a booming area. Now the new 490 over here at say foster north on york on the west side of the big airport there are empty spots however they are not tearing things down. Actually a new fast food gyro place is coming in in a building they never really torn completely down and just renovated I believe. I think as most here already know far more than me once the jay's shooting it went downhill. I agree though if the township and villages made real strict rules in regards to security the lido and the vinn could have been used for the migrants. Of course we all know this is not about the migrants! This is about politicians getting reelected. These poor people like them or not are being used as pawns in the big game! I mean for instance even though I live out here now I still keep a mailing address downtown. So heading to the flea out south I passed what is known as a hotspot for the boys in blue. A political thing where they bus people from all over the city, feed them, etc to stand behind this or that politician to show them how much they care! Course around the parameter there is a presence of fuzz like no other! Now the cameras don't video that part. So what isn't safe when there is an army of fuzz surrounding the camp? Again your ideas are sane and accurate. But again this is not about the migrants, never will be. Stosh rant over. Had my coffee sorrry boys.

[StanleyStankas]

Yes that's too bad. Was hoping it would reopen. The guy told me one week. Obviously the drugs and hookers that went through that place was too much. Township wanted it gone. Had a lot of fun in there when that Mexican strip club La Bomba was open for a little. I'm not sure how many more gas stations and car washes they can put on Mannheim. They have destroyed the once thriving street. Regal is across the street and still open. They renovated that place a little so maybe the township won't go after them. The Vinn will be torn down soon. It's all about timing. Owners were too lazy and cheap to renovate the place. If they could have held out a little longer, they could have been used for migrants and become a cash cow. Now they are torn down.

Even Arthur's bar is going to be shut down. The old hillbilly joint is now a Mexican gangbanger joint. It had a 4 am license but there was a big fight there recently and the city pulled their 4 am license. Now it closes at 2 am. No reason to go there before 2 am. City wants it gone. Fiestas is still open and can be fun. Mostly Colombian girls hustling for drinks. They opened a new strip club in between gold and score called knockouts. Same owner as gold. More of a day time place. Closes at 12 am. Not many reasons to go to Mannheim anymore.

Dang I missed La Bamba, what year (s) was that open. Heck, I use to go to Stay Out, that's how old I am /.

La Bomba was there for maybe two years, 2008 to 2010 time frame. The owner of Cha Chas which was on Pershing and Western tried to open a similar club on Mannheim. Unfortunately it didn't work bc of location. Parking sucks. She would tell you to park in the truck lot just north of the hotel but first time customers wouldn't know that. Mannheim was really a fun place at one time. It all started going bad when the dorado hotel burned down and then Playpen stopped having girls bc of the stupid mayor's hard on for them. After that it slowing started getting worse and worse. Carls, which is the only lingerie club left in that area, charges $20 to enter on the weekends. What a joke. You can go to Scores and Gold Club and pay $10 to enter. No real reason to go anymore.

In our little thread here as well as the heim strip. So just a little report update here from yours truly. The lido is toast completely. Reduced to a pile of bricks surrounded by a chain linked fence. The cool little vintage sign remained for several weeks so I thought maybe someone bought it, however nope that was torn down and destroyed as well. The vinn is still standing, however closed and boarded up. Also it looks like the township has eyes to tear down a few more buildings including that former carpet place on the east side near the aforementioned. What hasn't burned down was or is being torn down. Jay's of course closed, reopened under a different name as a sports bar briefly, closed again, sign for restaurant equipment and now no clue what is happening there. Will be interesting to see what the township plans on doing there. I mean again as mentioned by myself and others here it's a commercial street and always has been for years and years. If a truck driver could pull in and out without being hassled for a quick bite I could see that type of fast food biz coming in, however there are already tons of fast food places for four wheel vehicles. Wait and see all I know. Stosh.

You know the funny thing is that I drove up to that fence over a month ago and asked a guy that was locking the gate up what was going on. I believe he said there was a fire and the place was being renovated and it was going to open the next week. That was over a month ago and it is still not open so it might be going to the wrecking ball.

Illini and I will keep rubber necking over there and see what I see and report in here if anything changes. Have to say nothing over there happens quickly so a week might be six months or again it might be time for the wrecking ball. The fence around it makes sense though as uncle would see the undesirables at least climbing over if they were going to squat. That of course is why they boarded those doors and windows up. These people are looking for a quick way in to hang. I do remember though that that stop and flop weekly monthly place further down towards stone on the same side sat and sat after some numbskull did something stupid in a room and burned the place down. Again if I see something I will say something. All I know and thanks for chatting with that guy so we all can have the info, illini. Appreciate it. Stosh.

[Illini333]

What happened to the Lido? A fence blocks the driveway and all of the room doors are boarded up.

Well, I will say that the boarded up Lido was a TV star on a recent episode of Chicago PD. I thought it looked familiar then there was a quick shot of the street. The other hotel on the other side with the blue doors has been used as well for a Chicago PD episode. One time they used the Colony Inn in Brookfield on Ogden Avenue.

Interesting and I failed to mention you hockey as a respected senior and contributor as well to the melrose thread so my apologies. It's funny you mention that because the son of one of the main security guys at the melrose flea is tied into the union and works on that show among others locally shot as he is a union guy in the industry on the other side of the camera. Yea though the street is gone pretty much. I even noticed that the little shot and a beer joint that is just south of the little spray yourself car wash I would talk about on here the building is up for sale. Place is still open though. Also some of those car sales lots are emptying out. Not much left for us to talk about so it is a thing of the past. Thanks for the post, hockey. Be safe fellas. Stosh.

The same situation, all concerned. I go by there up and down heim several times a week. Looks like with that fence around it it is ready for the wrecking ball though. I do know even while it was still open some of those front windows in a few rooms were on occasion boarded up. Have never seen anyone over there that looked liked they belonged in the area. Lots of cars pulling in and out as well as people hanging around between where the big rig cabs were parked and those dumpsters right there. Any info from any respected seniors like mayor or uncle would be appreciated. I am kind of a scardy cat when it comes to things like this and really only do drive bys, however I do know that strip from irving down to lake very well. Homeless still sleeping near fullerton, panhandlers still working grand which is funny because up here as well as in franklin the local fuzz don't allow any of that. The closest to panhandling up here is on the city side of irving and heim. Stay safe all. Not much to say really, however this board has been so dead lately. Thanks again for reading. Stosh.

Been trying to put the legwork in to see if Riley or Sarah are still working. It's been a few years since they fell off the radar.

I remember both of them from the scene but Riley (picture number 2 in that link) is the girl I'm most interested in seeing again. She was still fresh to the scene in 2019. I haven't seen here though since just before the pandemic. Any info would be appreciated.

I first saw Mercedes last year and I looked her up this week when I came to town again. She's well known to people who frequent the motel area along Manheim.

Young, just turned 21, with a nice body and great ass. She is always staying with a different friend so never has a place of her own to host. So expect a car date or book a room for yourself. I like to book a room then spend a couple hours fucking her.

She is chill and accommodating, just be nice to her. DFK, DATY, BBBJ and BBFSCIPx2. She says No Bare in her ads but she will negotiate if you have a valid and recent test you can show her. So YMMV on getting Bare service from her.
