The Green Mill is located at 4802 N. Broadway Ave. in Chicago Illinois. I love it as a bar and place in and of itself, but the original attraction to the place was sparked by the classic bar sign in the front of the bar itself. I love saloon signs from the era as they harken back to a rugged time, bringing nostalgia to those who never even witnessed the era. The lights dazzle in a way that hint to excitement and a seedy sense of class. This bar was once associated with Al Capone and has been visited by Frank Sinatra. I lived down the street from this bar for some time and on a random Thursday entered to witness and unannounced free set by Harry Conick Jr. If it wasn't for the great classic feel of this icon bar, which is in no small part supported by the classic sign above the entryway, people would not still keep this place relevant over one hundred years after its inception.
