CHICAGO — Lincoln Square and the surrounding area lost more than a few good businesses this year.
Forty-year-old mainstay Variety Comics shuttered, Fine Wine Brokers had to go after 20 years and quirky locale Eclecticity had to close its doors. Others, including restaurants Browntrout and Trattoria Trullo, were forced to move on.
DNAinfo Chicago is remembering those businesses in an "In Memoriam" video:
