Grate Sign Company made this neon sign for Dukes Drive at 81st Place and Harlem Avenue. They 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 center divider. Due to customers not being able to get in off Harlem they 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.
Update: THe 87th location never materialized. Dukes eventually did move into a Gas & Go Convienience Store as the main eatery at 19990 South LaGrange Road, Mokena, ILL

Raynor and Helfrich Wedding Held at Bridgeview Sat. July 24, 2016.
The wedding of Pais Raynor and Andy Helfrich was held at the Raynor’s Bridgeview home in Bristol, Indiana on the bluff above the St. Joe River on Saturday afternoon, July 23, 2016. Before the wedding, Pais and her Bridal Party and Andy’s Groomsmen prepared for the occasion in separate places: Pais and her attendants in the main house, and Andy and his Groomsmen in the Studio outside. In the ceremony, it was recalled that Pais and Andy first met at a preview for a Harry Potter Premiere in 2011 in South Bend, Indiana. The first thing that Andy said to Pais was: “Hi, do you always dress like that?” Pais was wearing a complete Harry Potter costume with wand and hat. That lit the spark that led to their relationship. When Andy’s job transferred him to Florida, Pais joined him where she became the Production Coordinator at St Petersburg City Theatre. They decided to hold their wedding up north among friends and family there. As a special touch on the day where the heat index was to reach 100+, the guests were offered a lovely palm wedding fan, complete with an attached program of the Wedding Party. During the ceremony, each read personal vows to each other. Pais shed her old tennis shoes as a symbol of her new life. Andy held a sword. A reception was held under the trees following the ceremony. Just the Facts: Wedding Party: Maid of Honor: Kate Smiley. Best Man: Blake Brosmer. Bridal Party: Jordan Lambka, Henry Keith, Hope Monroe.

El Mar Bowl closed December 2020 and has been sold to a developer. April 19, 2021 the property was surrounded by the teardown fence and demolition will begin when the permits are in order.
The south west corner of the building was occupied by PJ’s Drive In.
Update August 15, 2021 - Demolition is underway, but last week several men were sitting outside the fence picketing and had “On Strike” signs in hand. It appears demo might have stopped for the time being..

Not the best day for pictures, but catch as catch can, I was excited to see a boxcar on the Illinois Brick Company Spur today. First time I've seen one here in many passes by. I asked for permission to shoot from inside the property, and was pleased to be told that it was ok...

This has been abandoned for around 10 years and is slowly crumbling. It's a huge parcel of land begging for redevelopment! A Blight on the area, many nearby businesses are suffering, many are closing. Grocery store, restaurants, small businesses. This is becoming a "dead zone" - Walmart is the saving grace of the area. Yes, Walmart!

Thanks to a tip from Murph, we stopped at the Bridgeview Diner in Mackinaw City for dinner on the way to Mackinac Island. The fish and chips were so great that we stopped in on the way back for breakfast. I had the biscuits and gravy and Bob had the chicken fried steak. We didn't have to eat again all day. The Bridgeview cook (Chief) knows his way around potatoes--I think he hand-cut the waffle chips for the fish and chips and we watched him chop up the potatoes for breakfast from whole potatoes. Highly recommended!
