Der Eintrag
Eine Spionage-Themenbar in River North, die ein Stück der Mauer zwischen ihren Requisiten ausstellte, bis sie im März 2023 schloss. Wo das Stück hingekommen ist, ist nicht bekannt.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
SafeHouse, a spy-themed restaurant and bar with a password at the door, opened in Chicago's River North in March 2017, a sister to the original in Milwaukee. The Chicago Sun-Times, previewing the opening, listed the artefacts of the era it had assembled: a piece of the Berlin Wall, the flight deck of a Second World War spy plane donated by its pilot, and replica machine guns from the estate of John Wayne.
It closed abruptly in March 2023. Nothing read here says what became of the Wall piece, and this record is kept as a former location for exactly that reason. A segment in a themed bar is the kind that moves without anyone writing it down: it belonged to a business, not a museum or a city, and when the business went the object went with it.
It is also a fair reminder of how many of the catalogue's listings are like this one — a record that was true when it was made, of a place that no longer exists.
