Larry North Out of Highland Park Village
There was talk earlier this year that the new ownership wasn’t going to keep Larry North Fitness in Highland Park Village, but then they announced they were staying. But not so fast. A law-practicing and former-co-worker-of-mine FrontBurnervian passes along this e-mail that he received today:
After 20 wonderful years in Highland Park Village, it is with great sadness and regret that I inform you, in spite of all our efforts to keep the Highland Park club open, we are forced to close our doors December 1st.

And it provided the footage that led to the photo you see here, because apparently I’m doing Tim’s job now. Send comments to him, not me, as he is the spiritual puppet master for this post.
