November 9 KiddieLand


Earlier this year I wrote about passing by the now defunct Santa's Village and feeling a bit sad about a bygone era. So when I stopped at the light at First Ave & North Ave in Melrose Park, I took a couple of pictures of the KiddieLand sign to show that some old time amusement parks still survive. I really wanted to write a feel good blog about KiddieLand. I googled Kiddieland and found their website. Unfortunately, KiddieLand closed forever on October 4, 2009. Once again, my attempt at a feel good piece is flushed down the drain. As far as I know, there are no longer any old time amusement parks in the Chicagoland area.
