HISTORY OF NAME:
The co-op's name was inspired by the original Dill
Pickle Club which existed in Chicago from 1916-1932.
As summarized by the Newberry Library, "Operating as a
coffeehouse, art gallery, and speakeasy, 'The Pickle'
welcomed hoboes, prostitutes,professors, and every
variety of nonconformist passing through Chicago. In
its early years, the Pickle was a meeting place for
some of Chicago's most famous authors, intellectuals,
and radicals." More information and images at --
