Illinois

there was a little diner on the NW corner of addison and california (right across california from GT) in the 70s where i would go sometimes because they had a "pinball wizard" pinball machine. i imagine that place was crowded during lunch break with gordon students. on western we had a much greasier spoon called dennis' or dennis the menace, owned by a chicago cop....the food was typically lousy for that kind of place but he had a ton of pinball machines and video games.

i graduated HS in '80, so depending on when you were at gordon, those places may or may not have been there.
