Gregzs:
It seems that the 19th Street Gym has been closed for some weeks. It may or may not bounce back.

Diamond Gym changed hands at some point. I thought John Kemper still owned it.

Back in the day when it was on the quarry in Thornton Illinois it was the mecca for us in the Chicagoland area. Relocated in Calumet City it's still hardcore but I don't train there anymore. Still the home of Ed Coan.

It can't be hardcore without platforms, bumpers, stones and tires.

Anybody from Maine? I grew up as a teenager in a hardcore powerlifting/bodybuilder gym called Gillys Gym in Waterville. Some of my old buddies informed me it finally closed up in early 2010. Was the home of the Hacket brothers (Worlds Strongest Man contest), Ernie Gilbert, Anne Turbine etc.
