    1. The hot dogs, absolutely! Owners claim that they get their beef and pork imported from Chicago. Remember this?

    2. I do remember that! When I was working there, I used to go to a place called Gold Coast Hot Dogs. It was somewhat of a dive but, boy did they have the best Chicago style hot dogs. I remember they had photo of Bill Cosby on the wall enjoying one of their special dogs.

  4. We have season tickets for the Cubs Spring Training games in Mesa, Arizona. I remember one fan wearing a Cubs t-shirt that had the slogan "Any team can have a bad century."

    1. Love it, Dave! If I were still living in Chicago I would want one of those t-shirts! Despite its bad press lately, I still love the Windy City!! Enjoy your games!!
