Dig this fantastically seamy 1959 conventioneer's guide to the Windy City; it's chockablock with exotic strippers hula dancers like Miss Sunny Daye (pictured above), and long-lost cocktail lounge/strip joints like the Tradewinds and Club Aloha. Blogger and former Chicagoan, Iowahawk, provides humorous and informative color commentary to accompany these scans.
