Jack's Hawaiian Lounge, Chicagom IL (defunct) - Locating Tiki

Even after all these years, new old places present themselves, and this one is even in my hometown. Not much evidence of tikiness in this ad, but it has been making the rounds on social media lately (hmm... wonder why...) so I figured I'd add it to the archives here. Looks like there's a sports bar at this address now (no surprise). The ad is said to date from 1965 (unconfirmed) and the building is from the middle 1950s (confirmed) so who knows, maybe there's some lingering bamboo in there somewhere.
