CHICAGO'S O'HARE INNAt O'Hare International Airport
500 Sound-proofed Suited with individual comfort control. Famous Henrici's Restaurants and Golden Barrel Supper Club. All weather Swimming Pool Health Club and Recreation Area. Convention and Banquet Facilities for up to 2000 guests.
I worked at that hotel in 1978/79 in the Henrici's Restaurant there as a 22-yr-old waiter. Nice memories there. I can still remember many names of the waitstaff there. Always a regular crowd from the airport, and sometimes a few from conventions too. Many came from town also. Winters were best because the blizzards would snow us in and the hotel would put the whole staff up for a few nights till the streets were plowed. Chicago was so corrupt that they had trouble plowing the streets promptly. The hotel itself was nice and clean, never saw any problem people there, almost genteel. Funny, but I can’t remember whether there were any restrictions on where the employees were permitted to park -- Paul H.
ReplyDeleteMy father worked for Florian Decorating which had the contract to paint the rooms every few years at the O'Hare Inn. Back in 1965 or 1966, he was called in to paint a suite for president Johnson. He said that at one point while using the toilet, he realized that in less than 48 hours, the president of the US would be sitting on the same "throne" he was using. Laughed about it for years!
