I don't see any posts about Riverview which was such a big part of Chicago. I have very vague memories, but love to hear stories about it. It closed before I was a teen so my expierences are limited, but I lived not far away.

Thank you so much for the site links. It brings back so many memories as I think we went there quite regularly.

I am sure it was right next to the Mill Run. I believe it was attached to the shopping center at the very North corner. The food was not that great but it was very reasonable and free drinks. I think you had to have a membership card to get inside. I know my Mom had one. The name Millionaires Club was a complete misnomer. I think membership was very reasonable.

I believe it was called the Nortown. I saw Sonny and Cher there in the late 60's after watching their movie. They were not announced that they would appear. What a wonderful surprise and such a great childhood memory.

Does anyone remember Olsen Rug's outdoor garden. My brother and I went there with our parents in the 60's. I remember walking up stairs above the waterfall. I was really young and am not sure the purpose of this place. I also remember in the fall they would decorate it for Indian Summer. Am I right? I am not completely sure about this. I would love more information.

I remember them all. What a shame that these amusement parks closed and now Kiddieland. I also remember the kiddieland in Lincolnwood.

I remember the Mill Run and also the Millionaires Club. The Millionaires Club gave you unlimited drinks with your meal. We were also underage! What a great place at the time. I took my Mom to see Johnny Mathis at the Mill Run. What great memories.

Yes, I went horseback riding there many times. At the time it seemed as if this was leaving the city.

Boy do I remember. This was my home away from home in the late 60s and early 70s. I was a regular. We called ourselves rink rats. I first learned to skate and later to even play girls hockey. I miss the place so much. So many memories. I met a few boyfriends there as well.
