It’s been over four decades since the release of the watershed film that spread Chicago’s soul sounds around the world when "The Blues Brothers" tore up the streets, the churches, the parks, the coffee shops, the hotels, the back alleys and most of the Windy City. The shenanigans of the orphaned Jake "Joliet" Blues (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) not to mention the likes of Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker grew out of a Saturday Night Live sketch in 1976. Chicago, Belushi's hometown, was just the place.

House Of Stars

The Palmer House Hotel, the nation’s oldest hotel in continual operation, first opened its doors on Sept. 26, 1871, just 13 days before the Great Chicago Fire that burned it to the ground.

The hotel was rebuilt across the street from the original and reopened on November 8, 1873 as the first-ever fire proof building in the country and the first in Chicago to have electric lights and telephone lines. It quickly became Chicago’s liveliest social center, hosting prominent figures such as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong and Liberace. In fact, every sitting president since Ulysses S. Grant (with the exception of George W. Bush) has rested their powerful heads on a pillow at Palmer House.
