The Zephyr Dinner was located at 14th Street and Canal. The old Soo Line
had a warehouse built above street level and 14th street came under this
property and met Canal Street. If you drove straight thru the intersection
you would drive onto BN property.
The dinner was on the Southeast corner of this intersection.
Back in the 80's it was featured in a movie starring Rob Lowe and Demi
Moore in About Last Night. The dinner was used in a few scenes and was called
the Swallow in the movie. Although Swallowing the food is another story.
Shortly after the movie was completed, the dinner was leveled when the
construction of the new Metra facility was being built.
