The demolition of Chicago's Kiddieland Amusement Park site. Melrose Park Illinois. Monday, July 26th, 2010.

We are facing south along the driveway that leads to Triton College in near northwest suburban Melrose Park Illinois. The pile of dirt ,rubble and debris in the immediate foreground, was the site of the Pit Stop Go Kart Track, located along the northern border of Kiddieland Amusement Park. The rest of the scene, was just recently Chicago's Kiddieland Amusement Park.
It is hard to believe that this "Tiny" amusement park actually survived here for 81 years. I couldn't believe how small the place actually was.
Work is already under way to erect a new Costco store at this location, as evidenced by the staged construction equipment in the background.
