Thursday, July 25, 2002 On that venerable Chicago watering-hole, the Billy Goat, reader Bob Kunz writes: Billy Goat Tavern was actually a haunt for Front-Page-types from a number of Chicago dailies based in the neighborhood, including the Tribune, Sun-Times (located across Michigan Avenue from the Tribune), the Daily News (Mike Royko's real newspaper home), and Chicago's American (later called Today). The last two died in 1978 and 1974, respectively. Point being Billy Goat is neck deep in newsprint from a long-gone era, the Tribune being the somewhat effete member of the crew. #
