It is a fully functional time machine. With tater tots. It’s not even “retro”, it just is what it is. Meier’s Tavern.

I came upon this quite by accident; it made me late for breakfast since none of the CTA buses could get to the other side of the river. It’s the most bascule bridges I’ve seen open at once. It was for a scene in “Insurgent”, which I’ve tried to find on YouTube, but no luck so far.
