Dukes Drive In, Bridgeview, Illinois.
Dukes Drive at 81st Place and Harlem Avenue closed in August 2019.
The building will be demolished to make way for another Panera Bread which is currently located at 79th & Harlem Ave.
Southbound traffic can not turn left into PB due to the high concrete center divider. Due to customers not being able to get in off Harlem PB decided to move up the street where there is a dedicated center turning lane.
Dukes Drive In is planning on re-opening in a much smaller Brown's Fried Chicken building which is in a vacant building on an out lot at 87th & Harlem Avenue. That building houses several other tenants, as well.
Dukes was demolished about a week after I took this photo.
Update: the location at 87th & Harlem never materialized. Dukes eventually did move into a Gas & Go Convienience Store as the main eatery at 19990 South LaGrange Road, Mokena, ILL
