Uh yeah - that's where I used to play hookie from work. I never took off
sick days, just screw-off (not literally you perverts) days. The one was
actually right on the corner, facing State, named the Shangri-La. I worked
dead across State from that at the 35 E. Wacker bldg.
As someone pointed out, that's probably where Wacker came from but I'm sure
the road that runs along the river was there with it's name well before the
days of public porn. Also I doubt PeeWee Herman/Paul Ruebens was around (or
old enough anyway) when the Shangri-La was in business.
