Anyone remember this place? My mom used to take me there all the time in the early 70's. I was a train freak and loved the train theme.
If anyone has a pic of the place I'd love to see it again!

didn't know there was one by wrigley? i grew up going into the franksville at 87th and cicero. i remember being fascinated by the wooden, a-frame ceiling.
the only one i know that's left is up on harlem by irving. the corn dogs just aren't the same any more..

The building On the NW corner of Clark & Addison is long gone, Unfortunately. It's now parking for McDonald's.
But the good news, Is that a Franksville still exists at Harlem nr Addison.

As kids we went to the one on Addison. They were famous for the foot-long hot dog.
