This is so sad. Southport Lanes is closing down after nearly 100 years in business.
It was a super fun bar that had a small, old-fashioned bowling alley inside. It was right by our old condo in Chicago and we used to go there frequently. It’s also where Justin and I had our second date!
I just can’t believe it has been around for almost a century, but now can’t survive COVID.
Another place that has shut down that I was so bummed about was Cozymel’s in Wheaton. This was a Mexican restaurant where we had my wedding shower, and maybe baby shower, too. And one of Kelly’s showers, too. It was our go-to for events — so fun and festive.
Boo hoo!
