Good Bye To Kiddie Land

If you live in Chicagoland you've probably heard that next weekend will close Kiddie Land, an amusement park for young children that opened in 1929 and has become a Chicago institution.

In October of 2008 DW and I took AB top Kiddie Land and we all had one of the best days ever, especially AB. Today AB and I met my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, and their daughter and son, for one last trip to Kiddie Land. I'm sad it's going to be gone. But I am pleased AB got to go there three times and we have almost as many great photos as we do fond memories.

Here's AB and me in front of the Kiddie Land Marquis sign at the corner of North Avenue and First Avenue in Melrose Park, just west of Chicago.
