Sadly...on Christmas Eve, the employees were told not to come in on 12/26...giving the impression they were getting an extra day off. Heard they did it a la the Baltimore Colts...packed up a moving truck in the middle of the night and were gone. Hope all of the staff land on their feet. http://brandon.patch.com/articles/old-chicago-on-badlands-drive-in-brandon-closes-its-doors |

Stunned, because this is the first time I've ever heard of an Old Chicago closing. The chain is growing up here, but I guess whoever had the rights to the Florida area picked the wrong place at the wrong time. OC is a good franchise. Good Food, Good beer, and very family oriented. It would work great in bigger cities like Orlando, Miami, Destin, Tampa, etc. I guess whoever tired didn't know how to do a franchise. Yoda.........OC in L-ville is my home |

Without giving it a second thought I can tell you that all three of the OC's I've played in have closed. One in the DFW area and two in Missouri. BO |

I was under the impression that the Springfield location did close but now see it's not. Something happened though because it's been there for a while yet that site has a quite recent id number. If it did close for a short spell it would have had to get a new site id. The other MO location was in Columbia. BO |

If a site changes ownership the boards get pulled and the id changes even if the new owners continue trivia. |

The building is currently empty (stripped). Maybe once a new restaurant goes in, they might get trivia back. As it is now, BWW and Barnacle's are right around the corner to play trivia. sigis wrote: If a site changes ownership the boards get pulled and the id changes even if the new owners continue trivia.

The Old Chicago near me in Elk Grove Village dropped Buzztime. I was very surprised when they opened there, because it is in an industrial/small office park. There is no one in the area after 5 PM other than people driving elsewhere. I am surprised they are still in business other than than the fact they are next to or part of a Holiday Inn. I do not expect that location to survive much longer. |
