American Legion Tattler Post 973, located in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, has been a community fixture since shortly after its 1946 chartering. The bar area retains much of its original 1950s-70s charm, complemented by modern touches like an electronic point-of-sale system that still uses vintage cash register drawers with their distinctive bell.
