Toot's Ice Cream drive in restaurant. (Gone.) Chicago Illinois USA. September 2006.

Toot's Ice Cream drive in restaurant. (Gone.) Chicago Illinois. September 2006.

Hi everyone!
welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
A hard fact to swallow during these tough economic times, is the fact that sometimes very well liked neighborhood busineses come and go. A popular place at the southwest corner of North central and West Montrose Avenues on the northside of Chicago for many years, was Toot's Ice Cream. My Wife and I stopped here a handful of times during 2006, and really enjoyed their fast food and soft serve ice cream treets.

It is now September of 2006, and the property on wich Toot's is occupying has been sold by the property owner for redevelopment. This is Toot's Ice Cream, just after the place had closed in September of 2006. It was a good place, and now many neighborhood locals have come to miss it as well.

Today, this is the site of a small stripmall.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
