Geocache Description:


This is in honor to my very hard working father. It all started in the Spring of 1958 when my father saw a man pushing a hot dog cart down Cicero Avenue in Chicago in front of his Bar/liquor store restaurant. He stopped the guy paced off the size of the cart. The next few weeks Bob had a carpenter working on a much larger version of the push cart. Paint a little art work a fiberglass roof...a for sale sign in the window of Wrightwood Liquors and the hot dog stand was born. The photo above is the original push cart. My father's first location was on the corner of Cumberland and Lawrence. The area was all farmland and horse stables. My father would stand on gravel under a fiberglass roof selling hot dogs by day and kerosene lights by night. It was a BIG success. At night his twin brother Bill would come with his car. Bob would sit on the hood of the car so they could drive and push the cart down Cumberland Avenue to a garage Bob rented. In very short order the push-cart lead to a trailer with propane tanks for cooking and bottles of pop. The photo below is the original trailer. My father's slogan was: "Make Friends With Our Dogs" hence the name of the cache. Congratulations! MGB on another FTF
