ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — Certain places evoke a sentiment of nostalgia, especially those we grew up with. In Arlington Heights, many businesses have come and gone over the years, but a rare few truly sadden us when we think of the day they closed their doors.

Recently, Arlington Heights Patch asked followers on our Facebook page the question, "if you could bring back one local business that closed in town (it doesn't matter how long ago), which would it be?" Not surprisingly, we got some great responses.

Here were some of the answers to Patch's prompt:
