In 1961, Butch McGuire borrowed some money from his mother, purchased an old strip club on Division Street, and transformed it into a classic Irish bar.  With a little coaxing, he developed a thriving neighborhood singles' bar, and today Butch McGuire's takes credit for than 5,000 marriage vows.  Butch (unofficially known as the "Mayor Of Division Street") is credited with creating the modern day Rush Street booze corridor.  He was also one of the first to admit women as patrons and hire them as bartenders, and he steadfastly enforced a code of chivalry in which men were required to relinquish their bar stools to women at the peril of being forcibly ejected.  Butch also enjoys credit for inventing the "Harvey Wallbanger" and being the first to garnish a Bloody Mary with celery (claims that are perhaps impossible to verify).  He lived more than ten years with a heart transplant before passing away in 2006 at the age of 76.  His son carries on the tradition today.
