CHICAGO — After digging into the Billy Goat Tavern’s new bun and realizing that the storied bar changed a lot more often than I thought, I wondered what else was buried in the Tribune archives.
In two words: a lot.
It shouldn’t be too surprising that a bar commonly known for being the official hangout of journalists would be mentioned frequently. But it’s also clear that even if the bar were located 5 miles from downtown, it still would have shown up in the paper. That’s primarily thanks to the original owner, William Sianis.
