Here in Ithaca, NY, there was a Cornell Collegetown bar called "The Nines", that originally served New York style thin pizza. But many decades ago a small Chicago blues band on tour played at the bar, and two of the bandmembers were so enamored of Ithaca that later they moved here. And they brought Chicago style pizza to the Nines.

They also brought Chicago Blues to Ithaca, and the Blue Monday Jam at the Nines was fixture for many decades. I joined in a hundred times or so over the years.

Anyway, when you went to the bar, you could order either style. Fights broke out from time to time regarding the relative merits of the two styles, but were generally settled with quantities of beer.

Alas, the Nines closed down a few years ago. But its memory remains.
