From the website: Urbanites Cathedrals This, regarding, the Siegel-Cooper store in New York..... New York the Siegel-Cooper store opened at 18th Street and Sixth Avenue in 1896, with financing arranged by Goldman, Sachs. A steel-framed stone building six stories high, elaborately embellished in glazed terra cotta, it was topped by a huge green house and a roof-garden restaurant. A marble stair case rose through the atrium, and in the center of the main floor a marble fountain lit with colored lights was the setting for sculptor Daniel Chester French's monumental female figure The Republic. Crowds 150,000 strong jammed Sixth Avenue from curb to curb for the Saturday night opening of what the New York Times called "a shopping resort" and other newspapers described under such headlines as THE MOST STUPENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT IN THE ANNALS OF GREATER NEW YORK'S COMMERCIAL GRANDEUR. When the store opened for business the following Monday, ambulances had to be called for those who had fainted in the excitement or who had been wounded in the press of the crowds. Eight thousand clerks and 1,000 drivers and packers worked for "The Big Store: A City in Itself." It housed an epicurean food department selling pate de foie gras in bulk, a post office that mailed purchases to anywhere in the world, a telegraph office for more urgent communications, a foreign-currency exchange for any overseas shopper suddenly caught short of dollars, stock-trading services for those who might feel the need to increase their earnings to keep up with their expenditures, and

Mr. Pizza was originally located on the southwest corner of Hyde Park Blvd. and Harper Ave. where the wireless store is now.

I was thinking there was a Mr. Pizza located on N. E. corner of Hyde Park Blvd. @ Lake Park in 1960. I could be wrong but it rings a bell. If that was not the name then what was the name ?

Mr. Pizza was on the southwest corner of Hyde Park Blvd. and Harper Ave. until 1969 or 1970 until it moved about 4 doors west into the former location of the A&P which moved into the then-new strip mall on the southeast corner of Hyde Park Blvd. and Harper. It then stayed open about another year before it finally went out of business. I don't know what year Mr. Pizza opened, but I remember very clearly the building it occupied. Later, the building housed a Bresler's Ice Cream shop and a few other similar establishments before a wireless company moved into the spot a couple of years ago. Ironically, across the street from Mr. Pizza was another pizzeria, Pizza Platter. And up the street from that establishment was the original home of Cirals' House Of Tiki restaurant. There was also a Krogers grocery store and a National Tea supermarket on Harper between 50th Street and Hyde Park Blvd. The entire area from 50th Street to the north and Hyde Park Blvd. to the south and Blackstone to the west and Lake Park Blvd. to the west was razed in 1967 to make room for the construction of Kenwood High School, which opened in September 1969.

The Milwaukee District trains that pass just west of Skokie will take you to Chicago Union Station. From there, it's about a mile and a half to the Swissotel Chicago.
