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

Demolition of the former Arby's on North Harlem Avenue, just south of West Irving Park Road is about to get underway.

I passed this location yesterday going to and from work. A claw equipped back hoe crane, is parked along the north side of the building.

Several Arby's Roast Beef take out fast food restaurants have closed in recent years through out the greater Chicagoland area.

This one will be greatly missed, as it had an original neon tall "Cowboy Hat" roadside sign, and an overhead elevator in the drive thru lane along the southside of the building.

This may have been one of the first Arby's in the greater Chicagoland area, as the entire establishment was very retro in architectural styling.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
