First it was Bennigan’s across from Around the Clock.

Closed.

I noticed Friday that Bakers Square in Crystal Lake had also closed. When the restaurant in Algonquin closed, I stopped in to ask if the Route 14 establishment would stay open.

“We hope so,” was the answer I received from a woman employee.

The sign on the door says the eating place closed last Monday and the nearest open store is in Palatine.

I called the number listed. It was answered Friday night.

Fortunately, in Crystal Lake we still have Around the Clock.

Their pies are easily as good as the ones Bakers Square used to serve up.
