Cantonesia

It felt like a perfect summer day in Chicago today, even though it’s only mid-February and should be snowy and frigid. The warm weather will be around for a while and we’re certainly enjoying it.

This photo was taken a couple years ago in Chicago’s Chinatown. The building in the middle was torn down last year and yesterday the one on the right was demolished. Three Happiness and Cantonesia were the to-go restaurants in the early 1980. Although their heyday was over long ago, it’s still sad to lose these buildings.

The City of Chicago is going to expand Wentworth Street, which is why these buildings have been demolished. It will be strange to see an empty corner when I return to Chinatown next week.
