    Thanks, Jhenry. That gives a great mental picture of what those luxury hotels must have been like.

    As a young six grader in 1972, coming from a small Indiana town, our entire class of 22 traveled to Chicago for 3 days. We spent the nights at The Palmer House Hotel.... Visited all the major museums, Shedd's Aquarium, etc. Performing in the Palmer House Main Entertainment Lounge during our visit, the late Mr. Lou Rawls. At my age I saw neither Mr Rawls or was offerred a razor by hotel staff.
