The Car Kebab is gone, and I don’t feel so well myself

May 3rd, 2008

Yet another Chicago landmark is gone. The famous Car Kebab in Berwyn, featured in the movie Wayne’s World, is no more as of last night. The Sun-Times has a video of the demolition in their story about it. The Car Kebab was taken down to make room for a new Walgreen’s. Isn’t that always the way? Landmarks across the country are demolished to make way for a Walgreen’s.
