I took this photo during much happier times back in June of 2007.
It is hard to believe, but many fellow Chicagoans will not have a Kiddieland Amusement Park to go to during the upcoming summer season of 2010.
Kiddieland Amusement Park wich was located at North and First Avenues in near northwest suburban Melrose Park Illinois, closed for good on Sunday, September 27th 2009 after 81 years in operation.
For the time being....The tall roadside Kiddieland sign is still standing minus the Neon tubes and light bulbs, and the park's refreshment stands and various buildings are still here waiting for the Bulldozer and demolition crews.
It just won't be the same here in the greater Chicagoland area without it in 2010.
I guess that Mhy photos and videos will have to do. Sigh.
The park admission prices were rather steep in later years, but I will still miss it.
Thanks.
