It's a hell of a lot safer now than when I was there. Damn, my car broke down on Roosevelt Road just off Halsted and a Chicago cop stopped, asked me what I was doing there and then told me this wasn't a good neighborhood for me. Hell, I knew that.

    Allen Ross the filmmaker lived right across the street when Jim’s was at Halsted and Maxwell. I remember going there around 2am with my cousin and friend one cold winter night. For some reason we didn’t get any napkins just wax paper. There was also a rumor that the sauteed onions were actually shredded cabbage. It seemed a lot more dangerous back in the day. Homeless men in wheelchairs roamed around and fires were lit in metal barrels to stay warm.
