Keywords: 3939 west irving park road chicago 1933 nicks snack shop blackandwhite monochrome outdoor locomotive train vehicle black and white My late father-in-law Nick Froustis used to lease out this space (far left) in the 80's and 90's. It was called Nick's Snack Shop. Just to the right used to be a bar/hangout called The Alaskan Lounge sometime in the 40's or 50's. You can still see the name on the terrazo floor in front of the entrance. To the really far left you can see an "ARE", im guessing it said Hardware store, because there was an Ace Hardware in that exact location for years until the 2000's.
