Noooo! I love their roast beef sandwiches and everyone is so nice! Damn, this sucks. Good luck to Mr. Shaw and his family.
I heard Rogers Park "used to be very nice about 20 years ago".
How are you going to bring it back Chicago?
I have patronized Thorndale Deli for over 30 years and am very sad to see it go. My sympathies lie less with the owner, who's quite well off, and much more with the wonderful people behind the counter - some who've been there for as long as I've been a customer. It's a very sad loss to the community.
