  1. Sitting here a little melancholy, thinking about happier times. Remembered the days when I would travel with a furniture dealer from Alabama to Chicago to buy used furniture to re-sell back home in Al. Anyway, googled Spa Motel Chicago and clicked on your site. The Spa looked exactly as I remembered it in the 70’s when we would stay there. I was in high school and every other weekend in the summer I would make a few bucks helping drive, loading furniture.
    I recall a Jewell market just up the street with a fantastic deli and a Pakistani restaurant across the street that was outstanding. I do recall the hookers hanging out in the bar and sitting around the pool. The guy would stop in Kentucky and buy SACKS of cigarettes, as soon as we checked in a Hispanic guy would come to the room and “take” the cigarettes off our hands.
    Haven’t been back since 1973 but I’ll always remember the Spa motel, thanks for your site.
