If you ever go to Danny's there is a black and white picture on the wall, I believe an original, of a bunch of people with Tony Accardo.

It's been a while so I can't remember if I could identify anyone else in the pic or not, but there were a bunch of people I couldn't identify.

I've never seen that picture anywhere else.

Kind of a cool bit of local nostalgia.

Maybe if anyone is ever out there they could take a pic of it and people here could try the ID game.

I thought the food was pretty good; my GF's parents were not as impressed.


That would be great. Would love to see that photo.
