A Little Help Please
As I was going through old boxes of " junk" I found old pay stubs from the mid-70s. I had worked for Jim and Mary Greska, they owned the Potpourri Pub on Devon, and liquor store on Clark Street. I want to say Pelican liquor store.They ran into financial trouble, as they also owned a David Berg hot dog stand/restaurant. On Broadway there was a disco named Xanadus.I then went to work for Mike and Joe Bortz @ Sally's Stage on Western. After work we would go to a bar on Halstead that was a magic bar, or to a bar on Lincoln I believe the name was Davias, with a large variety of beers. My question are these bars and restaurants still operating? Are Jim and Mary Margaret Greska still in the bar business? Thank-you any help will be appreciated.
sally's stage
Sally's Stage was opened in the mid 70's by Mike & Joe Bortz. They had a number of Ice Cream Parlors. Their specialty @ Sally's Stage was ice cream drinks, I know I was their service bartender, all I made were ice cream drinks. The ceiling was a collage of pinball games, the waitress wore roller skates. It was across the street from the (uptown theatre?) next door, south was a city parking lot, where employees could park for free. Max was the kitchen manager, the pipe organ coming up on the stage was really cool
