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.

UIC is notoriously erasing Chicago history, first the Maxwell street market which for decades was a Chicago tradition and now Jim’s? The people need to speak out before they decide to take the kitchen sink too.

[@robvasquez5628]

When I lived in Chicago, this place was a late night must have. Granted, I was in my 20's and out at the bars. Still better than Denny's, and I simply do not understand what a 5 hour window would curb crimewise if Jim's has security. 🤦‍♂️ I miss the food, but I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

[@randyreynolds4252]

@@randyreynolds4252 Bullshit, I went to UIC 85-87, nothing on Maxwell or Halsted but Jim's. It's become gentrified and UIC doesn't like the late night crowd it attracts. 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. The old Taylor street projects are gone, Chicago FBI headquarters there, State Police building; Hell of a lot safer!
