Harlo Grill, Melrose Park, IL
The still open Harlo Grill in Melrose Park. This is where Jim Files met with Chuck Nicoletti to discuss the plot in 1963.GSVGSV

Do they still have a pinball machine in the same area in which Jimmy was playing when Chuck approached him to discuss the assassination? By the way, Jimmy stopped playing his game as soon as Chuck asked him to leave to discuss the matter. Once a soldier, always a soldier. Especially to one's commander (which Chuck was to Jimmy).

Here are some contemporary photos. There is a machine of some kind in one corner. It appears there is a bit a room for a pinball machine in the corners but the overall floor plan is very tight. The food reviews rate this place are ''4 Stars'' for excellent greasy spoon food that's well prepared. Harlo Grill is located in what locals call the wasteland of Melrose Park.3 Images: Keith Harris

The pinball machine was in the back room in back of the building. It is now being used as a storage room. It looks like a very small room. The food is good there.
