I'm pretty sure I know which pool that is, across from Lake Point Tower on LSD. I've been there a couple of times as a kid, years ago
Yes, that's the one. The building is at 400 E. Randolph and calls itself Outer Drive East. The place must be close to sixty years old now.

I also lived at Lake Point Tower on Lake Shore. They had an indoor pool that wasn't that great when I lived there. Maybe it's better now. During the summer, they opened an outdoor pool in a little park built on top of the garage.

Funny thing happened at the LPT pool. One night, while sitting on the pool deck, a friend and I got into a conversation with an older man we'd seen there a number of times before. He said an international cartel of some kind had put a price on his head, and one of their agents was in Chicago to get him. We never saw him again.
A lot of interesting "people going missing" stories in Chicago. I knew a guy whose Uncle ran a Pizza joint on Ave O on the east side that disappeared. Found him a week or two later in the trunk of his car. Not sure theres as much if that happening anymore like that.

Did he, erm, going missing while wearing his speedos by any chance? Just want to visualise it better ... :lol:
