Though the place is not connected to the Buckeye state, but rather gets its name from its location in Chicago, at the corner of Ohio and LaSalle streets, I nevertheless felt a vague kinship to the Ohio House Motel, even though I've never had cause to stay here. Maybe because we're both of the same vintage: I came into this world in June, 1960, and the Ohio House went up the following December, on a lot where a Chicago Public School once stood.
Both showing our age, both perhaps anachronisms, but nevertheless not, I fancy, without a certain retro charm.
"Distinguished by its funky diamond motif," its web site trumpets, "the Ohio House is a vintage slice of roadside Americana plopped down right in the middle of downtown Chicago."
And so it is. The Leghorn, in the picture, is the funky recent incarnation of its old-time diner, and I'll slide by one day and give a report. In the meantime, feel free to check in and converse about, well, anything you like. If you're new to this area of the blog, the short explanation is that readers wanted a place to go talk to each other unsupervised, and so I created a series of motel rooms for them to converse in. When one gets filled with so many comments that it gets to be tiresome to scroll to the bottom—and when I have a new picture—I'll create another one. Or such is the plan.
Oh, love the cute pic of your dog. Reminds me of our family shih Tzu.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I'm familiar with that motel. It does look charming.
The Marriot close to Quartino's, is where some of our out of town relatives stay when they visit.
Some good items in the ST today. A moving story of a holocaust survivor who died. Had to cut off his own toe, so the frostbite gangrene wouldn't kill him. The Nazi's would kill sickly Jews.
ReplyDeleteAnother column talks about how biracial Japanese are still not accepted in 2015 in Japan.
What's with the Muslim lady crying wolf (see Sun. ST) and other similar reports that she was discriminated on United cause they wouldn't give her an unopen pop can. Those are the safety rules. Is she above them????????? Is that really discrimination? The United workers have nothing to apologize for.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she should be railing at the males who force her to cover her head. Talk about in her case, someone looking for attention.
This is where walk on eggshells , pol. correctness has gotten us.
Did you read that the flight attendant gave another passenger an unopened can? I'm at a bit of a loss as to how one could weaponize an unopened can in a way that couldn't be done with an open one. I have received both open and unopened cans when I have flown.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this woman is being forced by males to cover her head (although some are, I'm sure). She is a nationally prominent Muslim.
Well an open can could be used to bash in a head. An open one, not so much after liquid would just spill out. The flight attendant did then open the other passengers drink, a beer. It isn't always discrimination you know.
DeleteYes, I know she was some prominent one. All the more to call attention to self.
If she's not forced to do that, she certainly is brainwashed.
Now she'll get more pats of approval for her kind and have the unfair to non Muslim, Muslim community wag about how she's been discriminated against. I think she was being oversensitive. This wasn't some overt act.
DeleteI'm rather puzzled about the can as a weapon idea. I could do a lot more damage to a person w a pen if need be, or my keys for that matter.
ReplyDeletesee above, Nikki
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should have been clearer by saying why single out the soda as a possible weapon. Besides, if a person is hell bent on using a soda can as a weapon, they could just grab an unopened one off the cart.
DeleteHere we go again, with many posters here it's : the Muslim is always right, the non Muslim usually wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes, I suppose a soda can could be used to hit someone in the head, but doesn't that strike you as ludicrous? So could any number of other objects, many much more effectively: a stiletto heel, a laptop computer, a corkscrew (which I have frequently had in my carry-on), a Bible.
ReplyDeleteThe flight attendant opened the other passenger's can only after it was brought to her attention. If opening a can was SOP, it seems extremely unlikely that one would have been given out unopened only seconds before.
No one is saying "the Muslim is always right," and I can't say I've seen a pattern of that idea presented in this forum, but sometimes you just have to apply your common sense to a situation. And clearly the words of the man across the aisle were inexcusably offensive.
But the point is, that's what the airlines consider what could be a weapon. Not heels or laptops.
ReplyDeleteThe man across the aisle isn't an employee of United.
And the airlines aren't distributing heels or laptops, keys, etc.
ReplyDeleteI still say that Muslim woman is playing victim-much ado about nothing, that will then trivialize when there is really something to gripe about.
ReplyDeleteNo, he wasn't. I never mentioned United. But he was part of the whole unpleasant experience that Ahmad posted about, and I disagree that she wasn't a victim of discrimination and that she is being over-sensitive. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we'll see more about whether United actually does deem a pop can to be a weapon, or if this flight attendant acted on her own judgment, in the days ahead. As I mentioned, I have been served unopened cans, but I don't know whether it happened on United.
Is this particular situation the most severe one facing Muslims today? Of course not. But it was one woman's experience, which she posted on Facebook. Clearly others thought it was worth sharing. It's not like she called the New York Times.
ReplyDeleteShe was still seeking attention for something slight or imagined slight and she got attention for her trivial whining.
DeleteOkay Muslim bashers, how about you try this... If the story didn't have any descriptions of race, sex, or religion, how would you feel about it? If it was just a story about a person who was denied an unopened can bc it could be a weapon, while the next person received an open one, and other passengers told them to F off for complaining, what would your reaction be?
ReplyDeleteDiscuss
It would be silly no matter who reacted offended to airplanes rules and expect them to be changed on a whim. That's not Muslim bashers anymore than your comment makes you a Muslim lover.
ReplyDeleteHey, I don't make the rules on the airlines.
ReplyDeleteThe big question: IS that a rule on United? It's definitely not a universal airline rule. Let's stay tuned with an open mind until we know the full story. If it is a rule, than at worst the flight attendant was discourteous and inconsistent. If it's not a rule...?
ReplyDeleteoh oh, it's Coey the perfect one preaching to the seemingly less wonderful again
DeleteAccording to the airline operating the flight, there is no such rule.

I bet in high school you were the perfect cheerleader or on the student govt board. I was the one that had to go work after school.
DeleteThat's flattering, but no. I worked after school, too. I was in the band, to give you an idea of my place in the social strata.
Deleteokay, I had you figured for this prissy and prim, prom queen type
DeleteJust noticed that NS has called this new room "a place to agree." Funny how the only difference in letters between argue and agree is "u."
ReplyDeleteThe big question is how would the big defenders feel if that was Kim Kardashian that was whining about something similar on a plane, or some runway model, actress or Al Sharpton?
ReplyDeleteI guess some here have assigned themselves as the woman's protectors.
There are some who may get offended by evangelists preaching in 3rd world nations. Yet, these very same wouldn't blink an eyelash if Muslims were doing that, even more forcefully or causing problems in Western ones. (not that I'm a big fan of evangel. but they are safer at marathons, buildings, airports, etc.)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I'd be even more angry if a Kim Kardashian type whined about plane service. But she'd prob be on a private one anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the flight attendant who was given rude treatment by Ms. Muslim victim whiner.
I wonder if Muslim women who complain about something on Middle Eastern company planes get taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteIf a mid eastern woman in public tried to disagree with a man, she'd prob be beaten.
DeleteAnd so what if the can is being opened in front of her? she mentioned hygiene probs? is she some germophone? not like the flight attendant was drinking it
ReplyDeleteAny other topics? Come out and play folks.
ReplyDeleteYou've been more than patient with him. It's not that you are looking for those who agree, but he must just be o/c on nitpicking. Clever is one thing, rudeness another.
ReplyDeleteI see Rauner is playing hardball. Doubt he cares of mid class prop. tax hikes. More concerned about the bigwigs.
ReplyDeleteWe all should be concerned about the bigwigs - not that there shouldn't be ANY tax hikes on the 1%, but we're not California - if we try to solve the budget crisis solely on the backs of the 1% some businesses will flee (and even California lost some business with their successful "soak the rich" tax hikes - e.g., Toyota move to Texas). Solutions that work on the national level don't always translate to the local level for this reason (which is why Obama's cementing of George W. Bush's "temporary" tax cuts on the 2-10% will become a bigger part of his legacy than many suspect, though he had his reasons...) .
DeleteTrue about jobs moving out.
ReplyDeleteHowever the TPP deal will be part of Obama's legacy too, but not a good one.
Whoa, some of you (Anonymous) are in the wrong place. Go argue & be nasty/gross in the other place, for disagreeableness.
ReplyDeleteThe other room is filled or one has to scroll way to the bottom constantly.
DeleteI'm usually not a Jesse Jackson fan, but he makes a point in the Tues. article of the ST. Billionaire hedge fund managers paying at the same rate of taxes that his secretary pays, while many hide assets overseas, not paying their fair share.
ReplyDeleteAnd are we suppose to approve of what Bruce Jenner did in the name of pc? I'm disappointed in Vogue magazine which I thought was a classy mag until now. Can you say attention seeker? Shouldn't he be in a padded cell? His shrinks aren't helping him.
ReplyDeleteIf he had to deal with mid class, house, car, kids in college payments or worry about actually working or an HMO insurance that has to be fought with on paying for tests for truly serious matters, he wouldn't have the time or money to do that. Maybe marrying Kris and that whole family has rendered him insane and ball-less. He has too much time and money on his hands.
No, in the name of tolerating people whose biologies are different. Who made you god of how people live their lives? If Jenner thinks he's really a woman, he needs you to approve? You can't even get the magazine right -- it's Vanity Fair. And lots of middle class people go through what he went through. It's courageous because he had to deal with clueless scolds, aka folks like you, and was true to himself anyway. If Oprah said people should follow their dreams, and be who they are, you'd swoon. I guess you're assuming they dream to be you.
Deletelet them take hormones then to keep the ship tilted straight
DeleteBut middle class people cant afford to do all that, can they? nor have the time
ReplyDeleteWho made you god of judging those who don't agree with Jenner? It's not just about me or you, is it? And why doesn't he do this without seeking all the public media attention?
ReplyDeleteDo you think this is what Oprah meant by dreams? And easy for her to mouth platitudes.
Excuse me on the mag name error!
Why do you have to be rude, when someone doesn't agree with you? Is it your way or the highway?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't assume they dreamt to be me. Why make assumptions?
ReplyDeleteFunny how some who seem to have such a problem with so-called attention-seekers spend their time on gratuitously provocative rants.
ReplyDeleteIt's called giving an opinion, Ms. Perfection (or so she thinks) Coey, not ranting or seeking attention, just debating.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine what the Kardashians have to do to top this, and your head starts to feel like exploding Scanners-style.
ReplyDeletelol, indeed, they must be envious
ReplyDeleteIn the Wed. paper column, NS says that Bruce was this way from early days. I say the Kardashians cut off his balls psychologically and drove him to distraction. Bruce just may not admit it. Caitlyn, my eye.
I can't speak for Jenner, but hanging around the Kardashians would make me less likely to want to become a woman.
Deletegood one, Coey
DeleteCaitlyn Jenner's decision to transgender was her personal right, and I applaud her for having the courage to finally do so, after obviously suffering much of her life living as a male.The fact that she had enough money to pursue this shouldn't really be the focus, should it? Yes, I imagine there are scores of others who feel trapped in a body they can't identify with who, through no fault of their own, either can't afford, or for numerous other reasons,can't take the steps to pursue a change. I empathize with them, just as I empathize with anyone who goes through life feeling isolated and helpless. Ms. Jenner isn't asking for anyone's approval; I believe she took the opportunity to share her personal journey to both give herself some closure from the pain she's endured, and to educate us about this issue.
ReplyDeleteit's not about giving approval, he has too much time and $ on his hands
Deletehe should have taken all that and gone to volunteer to help the poor in some underdev. nation instead, he's self absorbed if you ask me
in some families and cultures, he'd be an outcast
Some people here like Muslims a lot. Do you think they'd accept him? you think if someone in parts of Africa , let's say,not just the mid east , did that they'd be accepted? would some Native Amer. accept this?
if they can't identify with what nature gave them, they need a good psychiatrist and not a panderer either
DeleteSandy, I would have thought it more commendable if he did it privately.
DeleteGood point, Eddie. I thought of that as well, but figured he (rather she) needed to do it on a public platform for her own sense of closure; to say it "once" in front of everyone rather than having to repeat her story again and again. I agree though, in that I hope she doesn't do any more media shows about it
DeleteEddie, in Bruce Jenner's position, that was an impossibility. He was pretty discreet about it for some time, and yet he was relentlessly stalked by the paparazzi. As the time approached for the final transition, he chose one news outlet with which to discuss the issue and, as Sandy said, to educate people. I assume that's the reason she's participating in a future reality show. (Which I won't be watching, but that's because of my distaste for reality TV, not for Jenner.).
Deleteyes, Sandy, they can't miss that much work for that, diff if they regular health probs
DeleteHim-as nature and genetics intended in Bruce's case, don't pander and be pc
ReplyDeleteabove comment to Sandy
ReplyDeleteTo the anonymous commenters above: It isn't doing any good to tell me I'm pandering or being pc, because you would be mistaken. Look, we all have opinions and are free to express them, so it would move things along more if we simply continue the conversation with a thoughtful response on the topic, to add to the discussion with intelligence, rather than just criticize, write personal insults (or swear in another language -- (really?). That seems petty, immature and attention-seeking.
DeleteI hope to be as perfect as you one day.
Delete@henry -- Who, me? On the scale of perfection, with 10 being perfect, I'm lucky to be a 3 or 4. and I'm sorry you thought I was trying to be perfect. Just enjoying the blog and adding my 2 cents, as we all do on occasion :)
DeleteToo bad, Sandy. I was willing to share my "perfect" title with you.
DeleteGotta say that I like the parade of Paul Newman character names, there, Anon/henry. I suppose you mainly like him because of his Sockarooni pasta sauce, though, since he doesn't seem to have actually been Italian! ; )
DeleteNo love for Judge Roy Bean, though? He seemed pretty opinionated, so a likely candidate for blog worthiness. Obligatory O/C nitpick: It's Henry Gondorff, not Gandaulf...
I think we all might strive to be as estimable in our commenting as Sandy and Coey!
"And THAT's my ruling."
Jackash, very good indeed. And if you think I was a PN because of Newman's Own foods, you are sadly mistaken. He was a fine actor, pol. activist and a charitable human, if imperfect. He was a bit older than my dad, so don't get the wrong idea. No thanks on Roy Bean or that one Indian character he played. Now next up- his good buddy Robert Redford.
DeleteYou're quite the detective , Jack. You should change your handle to Harper.
DeleteNot sure what your connection is about Italian sauce though, since Mr. N. was a Hungarian/Polish or
slovak/ secular Jewish person from the same home state where our blog host hails from.
Sandy, Funny you don't criticize those with name handles who have made critical posts.
Deleteand what's not thought out? something that isn't pc enough or liberal enough? or disagrees with the majority here?
devil's advocacy can add zest
@Anon -- I honestly don't care what people say on this blog, but I have to respond when I feel I'm being misjudged or misunderstood about a comment I made, such as I was pandering or being pc about a particular issue. Nothing personal; and being a devil's advocate is a good thing. And...how 'bout those Blackhawks!
DeleteNews maybe you can use: You may have seen in the news lately articles about how early morning is the worst time to have a cup of coffee (the theory is that it's wasted, or worse, due to a natural rise in cortisol in the morning). The problem with these stories reflects problems with tech journalism in general. As far as I can see, this is all theoretical based on some actual research on *other* aspects of cortisol and coffee. Even the person theorizing told Forbes magazine that the cortisol effects are variable and often dependent on daylight: if you wake up really early (as I do) he recommends a cup of coffee. It's a little like that "Mozart boosts your IQ" thing - the science was a little better: a very small and not well controlled study of a small classroom where a particular Mozart piece slightly raised performance. Next thing you know millions of people are buying Mozart CD's (I know, not an entirely bad thing) - I think one state even passed a law mandating the use of Mozart in early education. (Subsequent studies couldn't reproduce the effect). Anyway, experiment for/on yourself (and I still give people that original Mozart piece as a gift and tell them to use it as a secret weapon to make them smarter - don't tell anyone).
ReplyDeleteSome women who are expecting, will play classical music thinking the fetus can be enriched for that. I don't agree.
DeleteWhat happens if you don't like coffee? You should work in a lab, you'd be good at it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting my spouse who had high blood pressure(caff bad for that ) but needed some caffeine boost (so decaf not option) or he'd get a headache was indeed told by doc, don't drink it real early in the morn.
Jane Brody, the longtime personal health columnist at the NY Times, once wrote about how she tried to kick a one-cup-a-day habit - you'd think you were reading William S. Burrough's "Junky".
DeleteI know what my father in law who served in WWII, awould say about Bruce, but then some of you would think him vet the bad guy.
DeleteI had an odd experience the other day. I was on a lonely road, daytime in the far southwest suburbs. I took a diff route and wanted to ask of a certain street. Without gps or didn't think I'd be lost so didn't print out some mapquest, I got out of car to ask directions, This 40 something lady waved me off. She was behind me, so I couldn't just drive up to her car and motion for her to roll her window down. As a middle aged, Caucasian,non trashy or huge, ordinary looking female, why was I that scary? The point is, are people are too fearful of some strangers today. Luckily, an elderly gentleman stopped to assist.
ReplyDeleteNeil, are you more understanding if an older person seems to find fault with this Bruce story, then if a younger or mid aged person does.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how old commentators are -- though I imagine some have to be ancient, based on their perceptions. You think old people didn't carp about n-------s no longer knowing their place? I understand change is hard, and it sucks to have this kind of thing in the public eye. And individually, I'd be all sympathy and "Oh grandma, you have to realize that times have changed...." That isn't what this is for. They can go elsewhere to be coddled. I shouldn't even be commenting here at all -- not productive -- but I get sucked in. Hence a certain brevity.
DeleteWell thanks for your comment and don't assume older people are racists. But one doesn't have to be old to disagree with Jenner.
ReplyDeleteDialogue is always productive.
Well this has been an interesting day of comment.

Anyone else here a fan of TCM film channel?
ReplyDeleteWhile most folks on here, and elsewhere in the city, undoubtedly had an appointment with the Blackhawks tonight, we were watching "Gilda" and half of "Ziegfeld Girl", as a matter of fact. Quite the kick-off for "Pin-Up Girl" month, ahem!
DeleteI don't know if she fits in the "pin-up girl" category, but my favorite inventor is Hedy Lamarr, and "Ecstasy" was pretty racy for its time.
DeleteI'm pulling for the Hawks out of civic pride, but hockey is my least favorite of the four major sports. It seems like half the scoring in hockey is random, and it's exhausting to watch because if you take your eyes of the action for just a moment you may miss 30-100% of the scoring for the entire game. I admire the athleticism but the cost of youth hockey is high and so it excludes a lot of the talent pool. I felt bad last year when I was at a bar in Toronto for game 7 with the Kings - people who heard I was from Chicago were so sad for me when they lost and I felt bad for not feeling as awful as they did!
Jak, I watched a bit of Gilda with Glen Ford too. I read how they made her have painful widow's peak surgery and had her lighten her hair so Rita didn't look too Mexican. But I watched some Hawks too.
DeleteI like old timers like Betty Davis and James Cagney. Never got into Bogey or Wayne much.
ANA, I was shocked when I first read about how smart and scientific Hedy was. Czech born if I recall correctly. Usually some actors or actresses are a bit short on brains. I hate the word actor used on an actress. No, I'm not a sr. cit.
One of the Encore channels (522 if on Comcast) has some retro films too.
DeleteLove the dialogue between PN and Orson Welles in Long, Hot Summer. That Hamlet story adaptation from Faulkner's works is a good one.
Jakash, you are quite the ladies man.
DeletePinup indeed.
Jackash, I'm guessing you are in your 40's or 50's and Scribe and Ana are a bit older
Deleteand Tom E. is our eldest enior, Tate too.
A-n-A,
DeleteI thought "inventor" was some kind of bizarre typo, but I see that it's true. Lamarr IS on the list of about 2 dozen featured "pin-ups" that TCM is highlighting on Wednesdays this month. Her selected movie is "White Cargo", next week, but she happened to be in "Ziegfeld Girl" last night, too, which was the choice for Lana Turner. Before I realized who she was, or that she was a costar, I thought "that girl is more striking than the stars" when I first saw Lamarr in a chorus line. For your edification: ; ) "A particularly sweaty take on the familiar 'native temptress in the jungle' tale, "White Cargo" (1942) marked a successful attempt at image transformation for international film star Hedy Lamarr as Tondelayo, the half-Egyptian, sarong-clad femme fatale with broken English who spells doom for her white male co-stars."
http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article.html?isPreview=&id=1090956|139161&name=White-Cargo
I'm pretty much on the same page as you with regard to hockey. Hockey just was not on our radar at all as kids, and I've tried to get in the spirit of things with these Blackhawks runs, particularly in 2010, but it's just not my thing. I liken it to opera, strangely. Didn't grow up caring about them, have tried to appreciate them primarily because we live in a city that is near the top of the heap in both categories, and because I realize that a lot of folks are passionate about both, but have just not really become a fan of either.
Anon - I had thought Hungary and having just checked Wikipedia I see we're both wrong - or at least she was born in Vienna - maybe she moved to Czech later before coming to U.S.?
DeleteJ - that doesn't surprise me - as far as I can tell it seems like her movie career hovered in a gray zone between full-fledged star and also-ran. I'm definitely a sucker for a femme fatal pic! Re: hockey - I'm surprised how often I hear African-American sounding callers on sportstalk radio talking about the Blackhawks (given how few African-American or other black players there are - I can only think of one current one {Canadian Evander Kane}) and they usually sound older, so my thinking is that they became fans when watching the team on tv and that when the late Wurtz (sp?) owner took the home games off tv they lost some potential fans. Alas, I'm stuck with the White Sox, Bulls and Bears (and whoever is playing against the Cubs...) (PS to all the anons guessing my background - and I love you both - I'm not a Southsider - my allegiance to the White Sox is a medium-length story...)
Okay, anon, I know she had Jewish roots too as does on a different note, Bernie Sanders, who I wish would win the Dem. nom.
DeleteJak, I like her best in Samson and Delilah but just for her acting.
DeleteANA- Well I'd love to hear the story and don't forget former Hawk Bufglien sp?, still playing for another team now, was biracial.
I yes, ANA, the old Austrian-Hungarian/ Hapsburg empire. WWI would take care of that. Hungary finally got some rights in the Euro Revolution of the late 1840's.
DeleteMaria Teresa would make for an interesting case study too. I learned so much from my Hungarian Magyar Euro Hist. prof in undergrad in the early 80's He had been caught and beaten for participating in the anti Commie revolts of the 1950's. He survived horrific things then came here, already up in age when I met him. Stern but interesting fellow.
Too bad these days it's not pc for some colleges to offer Euro. Hist. It's World History mish mosh. Some don't even offer East Asian Hist. anymore, though I used to teach it.
Mrs.
Update on the Muslim woman being refused an unopened Diet Coke: the operator of the flight involved has said there is no rule prohibiting an unopened can being given out, and United has apologized to the Northwestern University chaplain and said that the flight attendant in question will no longer work on their flights until she receives additional training. Strikes me as a pretty good resolution. I did think calls to boycott United were over the top, barring evidence of a pattern of this type of incident.
ReplyDeleteI think they could have given that flight attendant some training, or just unpaid time off. It would be hard for her to find another job now too and a shame her career is ruined, with bills and prob a family to support. Again, business overeact to the noisy. Hope that chaplain lady is happy now.Yes, they must have feared the Muslims who were picketing. I saw that in the ST today too.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteShe is getting more training; she has not been fired. United has asked that she not work on their flights until the training is completed. Presumably she can work on flights that did not originate through United. Ahmad, the passenger involved, has specifically said that she was not trying to get the flight attendant (whose name has never been made public, so her career should be safe) fired.
DeleteOkay, I thought the article said she couldn't work with patrons anymore. That would keep her from that job.
DeleteOh yes, I'm sure bitchy Ahmad is really sincere. Sure just shake the hell out of the lady for a while and worry her sick. I'd like to give her a slap in the face. That goes for Kim Kardashian too so don't get the wrong idea.
DeleteI didn't have it quite right. She still has a job, but even after the additional training, United doesn't want her on their flights. However, her employer also operates flights for Delta.
DeleteI'm a bit surprised that you still think that Ahmad was wrong to conclude she was a victim of discrimination. Unless you're saying that she was, but she should just have sucked it up?
yes, cause she prob wanted to ruin that lady's life and get her fired and blacklisted
Deletealso, this has gotten her more fame and attention then she had before
she's a manipulative one
