Chicagoist Weekend Theater: I Remember Riverview

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 16, 2013 7:00PM

For generations of Chicagoans, Riverview Amusement Park was a rite of passage that was taken away from them when the park was razed in October 1967. Here's a segment from WGN TV in 2007 on the 40th anniversary of the park's closing. You can also view a documentary on Riverview in two parts courtesy of the Museum of Classic Chicago Television.
