Do you recognize this once popular abandoned fast-food restaurant in Illinois? 

Do you know what this place used to be? If you guessed Long John Silver's then you were correct. I know back in the day when I was much younger, they were very popular. I did not go to the fast-food chain very often because I have never been a fish guy. My mom was not either, so it was not really on my family's radar.

Kid Meal Toys

Growing up, sometimes they had some cool items in their kid's meals so I would make my parents stop in. On those occasions, I would order chicken. I can remember a couple used to be in Rockford. The locations in my memory were on Sandy Hollow Road and East State Street.

Are They Still Around?

I have to be perfectly honest with you. I thought the whole chain went out of business. I was wrong. There are still many left in the United States. The closest to Rockford is located in Sycamore, Illinois. To find other locations and for more info, HERE.
