slighty o.t., but the berghoff isn't really closed. i go to the cafe part in the basement at least once a week for lunch and the upstairs seems to be split into 3 parts: the bar (17/west), a restaurant, and an empty room that i assume they use for special events.

As an employee of CPS in the mid-80s, I recall browsing about some of the little-seen areas behind the walls & counters ---- like the 1920s graffiti in the service basement, and the layers of paint, wallpaper, creche, etc. that revealed the 'lady's 'true age. As a expatriate of the Windy City, I carry fond memories of 'my kind of town', and am keenly aware that Chicago will also be your 'kind of town' ONLY if you care to keep this town close to you and in your heart. Bon Ton and Macy's listen to a different drummer: money. However, there is no soul to that drumbeat. CPS and Marshall Field will remain in our memories because someone cared to present goods at popular prices and with innovative marketing. Perhaps we might be able to restore the soul of State Street with fresh and innovative ideas that would bring customers from far and wide --- as CPS and Marshall Field once did. There will never be another city like Chicago. Let us make sure of that. Jim Harris
