Restaurant Closure Roundup: La Creperie, Marquette Inn, Frida's
Here's a quick round-up of restaurant closures this week, some expected, some not.
La Creperie closed its doors for good on Thursday. The French restaurant, which opened in 1974 at 2845 N. Clark St., announced last month that it would close, as owner Germain Roignant retired back to his native Normandy and son Jeremy and his family moved to California. The loss became even more tragic when Jeremy died of a heart attack Aug. 7.
Today was the last day for Marquette Inn, 60 W. Adams St. One of the last diners in the Loop, the Marquette served breakfast all day, and provided many Loop workers with a filling meal for cheap.
Frida's, 3755 N. Southport Ave., abruptly closed this week, apparently due to high rent. This comes less than two years after the restaurant's original Andersonville location shuttered for the same reason. [via]
