Does this place still exist? I looked it up, and it shows as "closed at this location," but I can't find anything more recent than 2016 about them, so I'm wondering if it is closed entirely, and not just at its initial location.

Hi,

From what I understand, it is suspended for now or forever.

Not closed, suspended.

Regards,

As an idea of how long ‘suspended’ can mean: The Chicago STING soccer team operation has been ‘suspended’ since April 1988.
{If it ever was to go out-of-business, Lee B. Stern then could not prevent another entrepreneur from naming his effort "Chicago STING".}
