However I will make it over there and snap a pic of the front next week with the cold snap the fleas have been dead looks like just a regular Mexican food place now some of the local pros like Mayor Or Ump usually will chime In about who in the Past might be Working there.
So I had some time a couple weeks ago & stopped in the new place, now called Medusas. Not much has changed as far as the interior goes. Basically like Louie's without the dancers. It does seem to be primarily a Latin crowd, mostly Mexican music coming from the Jukebox. I did recognize the bartender as one that use to work at Bobbys although I do recall her name. I think it's just turning into a neighborhood bar at this point.
I agree with you 100%. Have you been to Jaco, Costa Rica? Spendable money goes a long way there and the women are very kind.
Have heard about this in that when I owned down in west loop there was a young man (very wealthy from family money) that was encouraging me to do the same. He would take these extended trips and was schooling me on the do's and don'ts of that game. He did bring up this brazilian young lady and I happened to just catch them in our parking garage. No doubt she was a smoke show! From what he told me american older men with spendable cash walk on water in some of these countries. I haven't a clue of course as I haven't even been out of the state in awhile! Never been out of the country. Out of my head? Oh yes. However never out of the USA. He told some interesting tricks these women play once you are there and then back home and the pitfalls of that scene. This kid had to be in his early 30's then as I was in my early 60's at the time. I guess the key is that once you are back in the USA don't send them any money because they will come up with every reason under the earth like their father just died again. Thanks again for chiming in. Stosh.
Some women have no idea how to use perfume! For me I couldn't tell a bottle that costs 1 k or one bought in a dollar store! For me it doesn't matter, however if one douses oneself like they took a bath in it I can barely breath. It's on your clothes and everywhere she touched you or you touched her. Thanks anyway for the report. It's kind of what I have heard in that it is very clicky and unless they know who you are it's like their own little social club. Which for me sucks and is a bad business model. When new people come in they want to feel welcome. I also heard it's kind of gangy in there as well. For me just be cool and stop over in my direction to see if I am comfortable. I don't like the vulture approach nor feeling like I am cellophane. I am old and have spendable mad money, however just make me feel comfortable prior to me spending.

Stopped in at Carls. $5 cover on Monday evening. A few girls working. Most were just sitting with other guys or with other girls. Had a dance with one girl who had so much perfume on. Came home and my girlfriend wondering why I smell like a girl. I still smell it on me after a hot shower. Wow.

Thanks for the updates. Any idea on the hours of the old Louie's and word on the general atmosphere of the bar?

The former j's which resurfaced as a restaurant for a quick minute is now up for sale with restaurant equipment as part of the deal. That is no surprise as even when the new place surfaced the lot was always empty when I passed by which was and is frequently. Now from what I see at a distance bobby's is back for at least all of their booze signs in the windows were lit up. Now on lake the former louie's is now that mentioned restaurant here and seems to be doing ok. The thing is with johnnies right there and the taco place right on the corner of heim and lake this new place should do well because there is a lot of walking traffic in and out of the flea as well as the trailer park. As far as our activity it looks like carl's is surviving.

You know it!! I usually think of things as I am lying around thinking about things and the line actually goes "long haired hippie freaks need not apply". Also as crosby sang in a related tune- "I almost cut my hair". Yep today I should see that security guy that has been in melrose all his life so he usually knows if anything is boiling around the village. Things of this nature given it involves girls and booze with us dumb guys it's probably politically related.

Stosh you crack me up. Long haired hippies need not apply, so you tucked up your hair under your hat and went in to ask him why.

Long haired hippies need not apply! Not really, although it's still there. Saw the flea security guy who knows what's what in the village, however I forgot to ask him. I'll do that over the weekend and report in if he heard anything. With the thanksgiving weekend I doubt things would be cleared up this quickly anyway no matter what the violation might have been. All I know. Stosh. Stay safe fellas. Beautiful weather scheduled for this weekend.

What did they do? To me looks like they didn't pay something some sort of village bill, however who knows. Like I say if no one else does prior to Friday morning I'll shoot over and see if it is still on the window. Course those bright orange nasty gram signs all look the same so this looks like the same ones that were on all of those apartments in that little complex south of speedway. Course just guessing. Someone was served that shouldn't have been or? Time will tell. I doubt my guy at the flea heard anything. He might at least know if the village in general is cracking down on code violations. Again for that I might not even see this security guy until the weekend. Stosh stay safe all.

Was going to do the same thing, however you had the idea as well. Would like to see that. Again if you see my recent post I commented about that sketchy apartment place further down south of speedway. They had those orange signs on all the apartment doors and I believe that is melrose as well. Could be wrong on that as it's like a jigsaw puzzle over there. Anyway possibly code was out and it was something small as unless there were complaints or there was a sting how would they know what was happening. Just sounds like something simple and they were not in compliance. Now that I think about it if mayor doesn't get over there prior to Friday morning I'll shoot in and see if the sign is still up. Thanks again.
I went by there today. I big orange sign on the door stating the business has been closed by the Village of Melrose Park for the failure of an ordinance. However, the ordinance is not stated on the sign. I took a picture but will have to shrink it to be able to post it.
