This time of year always makes me reminisce about my childhood growing up in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of West Ridge, Chicago. What I miss the most are all the old Amusement Parks. I lived right by Hollywood Kiddieland in Chicago and not too far from Fun Fair in Skokie. Which ones below do you remember? (I am aware that Melrose Park Kiddieland is not included yet.)
