Lisa's Ragtime Birthday

One of the things that I love about Chicago is that places like The Green Mill still exist. The former speakeasy is recognized as the city’s oldest nightclub—it’s been offering continuous entertainment since 1907—and remains today as an authentic link to noted mobster, Al Capone. Gotta love it!




Anyway, this storied bar was the scene of Lisa A.'s Thursday-night birthday shin-dig. The best part about Thursdays? Swing dancing, live jazz and (unlike other more "serious" music nights) you can talk while the band plays. It was a blast. The birthday girl was adorably and era-appropriately dressed, the music was fantastic and it was a warm, lively place to spend a cold night.
