The revival of the thread on Ethel's reminded me of another chocolate spot. Chicago Chocolate Cafe, on Randolph just east of Peoria, seems to be closed. I tried to go there a few weeks ago with Lucantonius on a Saturday afternoon -- it was closed. Driving by two nights ago it was closed. Calling just now got no answer.
Not that it was the greatest place or anything, but it was a regular stop for L and me to get a scoop of ice cream in the West Loop (before watching Antonius play hockey

), and one of the few places around there open on Sundays. Too bad.
