OK my fellow Chicago-ans from the Humboldt Park area, i got a good question for you. WE lived a few doors from that intersection on Kimball til the end 1967.
(i was 9 years old that year) The GO-TO hot dog joint was on the n/w corner. What was its name and does anyone have a picture or two of it during its heyday? The structure still stands--but long vacant. I do remember that their sign advertised the well known "David Berg" hot dogs but i forgot the business name.
(by the way "JIMMY'S HOT DOG" is THE go-to joint @ Grand and Pulaski~FYI)

I believe there was a Spanky's or Sparky's in that vicinity. The one with the old-fashioned plastic neon Pepsi-Cola sign??????.

I have been recently told that the name may have been RITCHIE'S Hot Dogs

It was a Ritchie's, I believe. It was a Duk's franchise later on. But a long time ago on the E side of Kimball, South of North Av. Was a Spanky's.
