Chicago’s premiere leather bar, the Gold Coast – what is it now, a bank or a “luxury” condo?
In 1958 Chuck Renslow becomes manager of The Gold Coast in Chicago and creates the first Leather Bar; in 1960 the owner dies, and Chuck is offered the chance to buy it, and he does. In this video clip Chuck talks about the Gold Coast. The place closed in 1988.
