Strat's in Villa Park closing after 38 years, draws crowds and police warnings

[@ericjamesphotography]

I taught motorcycle riding in Chicago for 5 years for a group called Ride Chicago. We would all consistently frequently ride to this place more than any other. Thanks for the memories Strat!

I have children because of that parking lot.

Good food, going to miss the place.

I was wondering why it was so many ppl there last night . I thought maybe it was a car event

BOOOOOO, a cool looking restaurant being replaced by a tire store. This is why driving around Chicagoland is sooooooo boring. Everything old has been destroyed. I have 500 options for places to get tires (pothole city so it makes sense).

I bet they'll not allow bear fans into that place
