Chuckie's Bar to Offer Historic Photo Exhibit of 4 Decades of Pride Parades


On Sunday, June 24, 2012, at 3PM, stop in at Chuckie's Bar, 1412 W. Morse, to take in a rare exhibit of photos from Pride Parades past.  I dug into the Gay Chicago Magazine archives and will present Pride Parade photos from the 70's, 80's 90's and 2000's, including a special Mayoral exhibit featuring photos of Jane Byrne, Harold Washington, Richard Daley and Rahm Emanuel. Above is a sample.


Chuckie's owner Alex Samardzija will be offering up beer and pizza specials. Stop by and take a look back at the Pride parades before there were barricades.
