Gambler's Row


In the 1860s up until the Great Fire, this stretch of Clark St., between Monroe and Randolph, was the home of a number of notorious gambling houses, and was known as "Gambler's Row."

Little gambling occurs at this McDonalds/Nick's Fishmarket, located at the corner of Clark and Monroe today.
