Construction is underway at the three long-awaited Chicago-area Chick-Fil-A fast food restaurants. The Aurora location will open on August 19 while locations in Orland Park and Wheaton will follow in the fall. The company plans six Chicago-area locations overall, but no one has actually said if any will be, you know, within city limits.

They have started Web sites, Facebook and Twitter fan pages and posted YouTube videos as part of their campaigns pleading for us to open in Chicago."

With the Aurora grand opening approaching, prepare yourself for the spectacle by checking out the terrific This American Life story done from the grand opening of a location in Florida. more ›
