the men's club & the boy's club

around the corner from my old apt was a strange attraction. during the summer there is always a group of older italian men hanging out front. something that is not uncommon in the little italy section of chicago. the unusual part was the building they sit in front of. the first floor of this building is decked out like a men's club. leather sofas, video games, big screen tvs, and vending machines.the full works. even more astonishing is the back room. it's set-up is a full-on tiki bar! this is where the "boys" hang out, the younger generation. obviously, i call them the men's club and the boy's club.
so i've always wondered it it was some kind of official thing. then the other day when i was walking past, i noticed the application of notices. apparently it's the r.i.a.c. who knew?
