Rush Street always was a disgusting street. Now it is being filled with high end retailers that only the one percent can enjoy. For a time when old White dudes controlled everything it was another disgusting playground for old Sinatra wannabee dudes. They would get up with all their expensive jewelry and suits and head out to Rush Street. The term Viagra triangle was mockingly used by people for this little area of quirky piano bars/ Young women who didn't have careers would rush to Rush Street to get one of these sugar daddies and their fat wallets. This went on for a time, but something unusual was happening. These same urban young women became more educated and started appealing more to younger hip dudes. The old dudes were being let behind. These mainstay red light district bars started shuttering down.
News that Jilly's bar was closing brought a smile to my face. I have long disdained these ridiculous snotty bars with strict dress codes. As owner of the Itasca Inn in beautiful Itasca I was embarrassed by some of the folks in the industry. They were a fucking joke. These young women quit going to these bars frequented by these men as old as their real daddies. With a good education and career these young women didn't need these fake sugar daddies. This is what really killed Rush Street bars like Jilly's and now the only place these sharp dressed old dudes will have to go to will be suburban old man bars like...my own Itasca Inn. the two dweeb owners of Jilly's may whine and lament the sad fact about the change in their neighborhoods but the fact is old dudes just don't got it. A place where they congregate in hopes of snaring the one twenty something chick in the bar just is not hip in today's world.
