ROGERS PARK — Parting is always such sweet sorrow.
In the Far North Side neighborhoods of Rogers Park, Edgewater and West Ridge, about a dozen or so notable businesses were lost, or moved, this year.
From Deluxe Diner, to the back-and-forth of Towbar, to the heartbreaking closing of Muller Meats on Peterson Avenue, we've memorialized some of the closures that stuck out.
