Farewell to the Arby's on North Harlem Avenue. Chicago Illinois. Friday, November 30th, 2012.

An era has came to an end for local Chicago fans of the Arby's Roast Beef fast food restaurant chain.

The old Arby's that had stood for many years on North Harlem Avenue, just south of the intersection at West Irving Park Road...is about to have a meeting with a bulldozer.

The architecture indicates, that this may have been one of the early original Arby's locations going back to the 1960's and 70's era. Prior to the location being closed for good in December of 2010, this location also featured a tall original neon roadside sign from years past.

For some unexplained reason or another...many of the Arby's locations in the greater Chicagoland area, had closed within the last ten years. Only a small handful are left today.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
