Fred Harvey was all over. Stations in Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles to
name a few. Also restaurants like the Old Spinning Wheel in Hinsdale and
The Harlequin Room in the Palmolive (sp)Building on Michigan Ave. I think
the Palmolive became the Playboy Building.
The Gold Lion Restaurant in Union Station in Chicago, operated by Fred
Harvey, was a classy place in it's day. I enjoyed a few meals there.
