Guest PozGoat Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 Man's Country Bathhouse For Sale According to an article in Windy City Times, Man's Country bathhouse at 5017 North Clark Street is for sale. Owner Chuck Renslow announced to his employees that he will be selling the building, which has been around since 1907 and was originally built as a lodge hall. A legendary retreat for the gay community, Man's Country opened in 1973, just a few years after the Stonewall Riots. Modeled on the fabled Continental Baths in New York, it has been an epicenter of activism, entertainment, and hedonism over the past decades. http://www.uptownupdate.com/2016/10/mans-country-bathhouse-for-sale.html ....................................... Wow, this is big news. According to the article, it is for sale and there are no plans to close it, for now. Of course, that will all depend on who buys it. I hope a kinky fag swoops in and buys the place so that we don't lose another gay play place. MC needs some work to get it updated but I'd sure hate to see the place close. I hope whoever buys it keeps it open as a bathhouse and fixes it up. The owner, Chuck Renslow is 87 years old and has said that he is too old to run the place anymore.
