The Depot American Diner (5840 W. Roosevelt Rd., 773-261-8422) is currently going through some tough times. They've had a business partner pull out, their hours of operation have been spotty and, with credit still hard to come by, their future is in doubt (calls to the Depot have not been returned as of post time). Restaurants close all the time, we know. But not all restaurants have friends pitching in to help out.

A benefit for the Depot is being held tomorrow night at KLAS Restaurant (5734 W. Cermak, Cicero, 708-652-0795). All proceeds from the $25 per person event will go to help the Depot stay in business. The benefit runs from 8 p.m. - midnight.
