The club lost its lease in 2015 but continues to host events at Debonair Social Club every Thursday. It was also allegedly the inspiration behind the Matrix franchise’s main character, Neo. Opened in 1979, the venue was notable for fostering a community of partygoers who danced to new wave, punk and goth hits.
Home to all sorts of after-hours hijinks, Neo was one of the oldest running nightclubs in Chicago. Many of the park’s rides were auctioned off-today, the Little Dipper can be found at Six Flags. Failure to come to an agreement on a new lease led to Kiddieland’s closure in 2009, followed by its demolition. In 1950, the Little Dipper wooden coaster was added and became the signature attraction.

Sohn made waves when he decided to close up shop in 2014 at the peak of its popularity.

The following were some of the most popular answers-so as painful as it may be, take a trip down memory lane and pay tribute by reading our list of businesses Chicagoans want to bring back from the dead. We asked Facebook and Twitter users which iconic Chicago spots they would like to see revived and received a wide range of replies. Although there are plenty of new places to be excited about, many local favorites have shuttered over the years, in part due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That's the unfortunate reality every business and its customers face.
