July 9, 1994: Untouchable Tour




We took the "Untouchable Tour" today.  The bus driver and spokesperson dressed like gangsters in Al Capone's day.     They held up the bus. It was funny.    Saw the Hotel Lexington where Al Capone stayed.   We went down Maxwell St. where people sold all kinds of tires and junk.   We won prizes on the bus. I got a coffee cup and mom got a switchblade.   

Had lunch at Planet Hollywood.   It was owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone.  

Then, we stopped at Ed Debeviks across the street. It was a 50s style restaurant known for snippy waiters and waitresses.     Our waiter was dressed as a pirate and asked us 'What are you looking at?  Are you crabby today? 

Went to Al Capone's museum to watch a short show.    Then, went shopping at Water Tower Place.  

In the evening, we went to the show, "Tony and Tina's Wedding".   We went into this fake church for a fake wedding. The maid of honor was pregnant and one of her other bridesmaids was fat.    At the fake reception, everything went wrong. The priest got drunk, wedding party was drunk, and they were all having affairs with each other.    The food was delicious.   It was a really funny show to go to. I highly recommend it.

Then, we walked through Old Town.   I loved looking at the brownstones. They reminded me of the homes in the show, '227'.
