On Sept. 16, the Northwest Side Rita’s was struck by a vehicle, and the location remained closed until last week. Shortly after the incident, Rita’s posted a photo showing considerable damage to one of the walls of the building, and posted a note about their temporary closure to its social media pages, noting they were “beyond saddened” at the incident.
