The City of Chicago
deserves its own Drawer. But in the meantime this will do because it’s Spring and Spring in Chicago brings only one thing to mind (no, it’s not Svengoolie, nor is it Svengoolie lookalike Lori Lightfoot):
In August 1947, Maurie Berman married his high school sweetheart Flaurie. In May 1948, they both opened Superdawg at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon and Nagle in Chicago. A visit to Chicago is not an official visit without a trip to Superdawg. When Maurie and Flaurie took their iconic Dancing Dogs down for re-furbishing, many locals would miss their turns and all directions ceased to work because ALL included the Dancing Dogs reference.
Maurie and Flaurie are serving Superdawgs in Heaven these days, but their children are keeping the spirit alive at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon and Nagle. And the Dancing Dogs? Well, see for yourself:
