Lots of other great signage there, and I think you can still purchase a Trump dog: 3 inches and covered i orange cheese sauce.

If that sign were on a business in my city, they would be out of business in 3 weeks.

There's a place in Bisbee (Az) called Jimmie's (who is from Chicago) that makes them, also Vienna Beef.
And the best fries I've ever had. 60 mile round trip to have lunch.

I'd consider it Lincoln Park at Wrightwood and Clark.

It's in the 43rd Ward.

That immediately brings back memories from home! I can't count how many of those signs I've seen in the Chicago area.

Biden: 81%
Trump: 17%

32,000 people voted in Chicago's 43rd Ward for President in 2020, which is far more people than voted in most Iowa counties that voted Trump.

Chicago as a whole went 82.5% Biden, 16% Trump.

A lot of wards went 95% Biden, or thereabouts ( Wards 5-9). Only two of 50 Wards saw Biden under 60% of the vote, and the majority of Wards had him above 80%.

Trump didn't win a single Ward in Chicago. The closest he came was in the 41st Ward (Biden 51.3%, Trump 47.2%, actually kind of a national bellweather!). The 41st Ward is so far north and west that it's essentially a suburban ward, though still in the city limits - it stretches all the way out to O'Hare. It's also notoriously a cop ward, too - police live there because they have to live in the city.

It seems like every trumpanzee hangs out in the Facebook neighborhood groups to complain about Lori Lightfoot, BLM, Defund the police, and the black guy that just walked past my condo.

I guess it makes sense because they can’t get away with that shit in real life.

pretty amazing. If it wasn’t for COVID it would’ve been an absolute madhouse when Biden was declared the winner.

"Kremlin Gremlin" until just now.

Chicago. It's a place where having verbally abusive staff is a selling point.

I'd post the little video from their website, but...
