I have noticed a disturbing trend as I try to hit all of the Milwaukee,Chicago, and Indianapolis bars for my upcoming book examining the rise and fall of the dive bar and this is the fact many small bars and collegiate drinking holes are indeed shrinking as the internationalist Italian and Mexican mafia move their muscle into traditional space offering upscale ethnic cuisine. The suburban area of Chicago has been hit hard with many bar owners selling out to chains and international restaurateurs and their family import food premium services and as part owner of the Itasca Inn we continue to fight the onslaught to our own bar and space.
I decided to hit Brendan's Pub the other day and this long time Chicago bar on Broadway and the Belmont district just suddenly was kaput and upon search of several other starred bars I had put up on my Apple Maps I noticed a few other bars have it the dust in Chicago's North side. Brendan's Pub looked like a typical
Wrigleyville bar which many have been swallowed up by technocrat greedy rat bastard that is Tom Ricketts and the ownership family of the Chicago Cubs. The Rickett's family wishes to monopolize and dominate all beer and food sales within a three mile radius of his ballpark and they are relenting in their corporate greed as it is unfortunate so many corporate free game fan base has taken advantage of freebies and support this initiative of greed of Tom Ricketts
the Rickett's family is seeking to gain all of the sales of alcohol and so forth destroying the uniqueness that made this neighborhood such a special place. Tom Ricketts and the billionaire class wish to put all six story motels and big parking lot chain restaurants in this neighborhood as seen in the suburbs because this is where they get their funding from the investor developer class funded by the fed and 0 percent interest to tear and rebuild and rebrand by taking over smaller neighboring establishments.
