Jack's Restaurant -- before it was Jack's

One of the great late-night hangout spots in Lincolnwood lore was Jack's Restaurant on Touhy across the Edens in Skokie. This is a postal card from the 1950s, when the place was called Jake's after owner Jake Joseph. I guess he changed his name to Jack sometime soon after that.
Unfortunately, smoking ordinances killed Jack's late-night business and it now is only open until like 3 p.m. or something. I know know for sure because I haven't been there in a long time, which is too bad.
