From the August 15th Chicago Tribune.
Gone, but not forgotten. In connection with the return of Santa's Village, now Santa's Village AZoosment Park.
RIVERVIEW PARK-- The granddaddy of 'em all. It's memory is guarded like a Chicago heirloom. Now a shopping mall, police station and college campus south of Lane Tech High School. This is where I went on my first, and for a long time, last, roller coaster, The Bobs. Probably not a good coaster to start on.
ADVENTURELAND-- In present day Bloomingdale, now the Scottish Rite Cathedral, headquarters building for the Freemasons. Went to this one several times.
KIDDIELAND-- Held on longer than the others, but couldn't stave off becoming a Costco.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
