Ask Geoffrey: Cicero’s Klas Restaurant

[@Robert-kc7on]

I grew up in Cicero 70s 80s 90s and the 2000s the class was always a crazy Blast from the Past when you went in there as a kid we would get mesmerized in there it was ancient like Al Capone used to eat there God such good memories of that place sad that it's gone

[@jackiemills2466]

Cicero was the best place to grow up. All the nationality’s the variety of foods learning different ways of the all lived. Everyone got along. I miss Cicero but took memories when I left I hold close to my heart ❤

[@lordrobert12]

This beautiful restaurant was outrageously torn down!!😡😡🤬🤬🤯🤯

[@jamesvokral4934]

so sad and I guess the Olympic Building is next...Cicero has torn down so much of its history...

[@Scapone2001]

Why is that

[@kalanisplash]

The Chicago Paradise Theatre on Pulaski Road was demolished as is now a lot full of junk. Education through Migrant Deportations. Democrat arrests are coming.

​@Scapone2001 landlords think he said they wanted 500k in 2020 dollars but, I'm sure they built something just as great in it's place. smh

It’s so sad what happened to the Eastern Europeans that set up shop in Cicero.

NAFTA happened

[@jesussamurai8433]

I left Cicero almost a decade ago due to just how unsafe, dirty, and ghetto it was but seeing a nostalgic building like that brings in memories. I’ll occasionally stop by Cicero to get some food it’s slightly over an hour drive now but I do miss the small Mexican restaurants.

[@charlesandrews2360]

There used to be many excellent Eastern European restaurants all along that strip where you got tons of great food for next to nothing.

[@martinskacel7614]

Central European restaurants.

[@charlesandrews2360]

@@martinskacel7614 I stand corrected. Geography was never my strong suit.

[@markgordon5387]

We were were there in January 1993, and the food and restaurant was cold. By January 1994, our gravy was cold and gluey. We never went back.

[@jodykostal9840]

My dad proposed there.

[@jamesvokral4934]

[@cocoaorange1]

Are there still any Czech restaurant in Cicero?

[@gintasindreika933]

The Bohemian Crystal restaurant in Westmont closed down in 2022.

[@dianerodriguez6546]

I’ve eaten there, it was very nice and good food.

[@jamessalazar3986]

we had grandma and grandpa's anniversary dinner there even Larry from Moline showed up he was wearing a suit with gym shoes and tons of jewelry

[@crippleguy415]
