Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. For a good hot dog whilst in the city of Chicago, Illinois, go to this stand which has a Hot Dog Tarzan and Jane adorning its rooftop.

Answer: Superdawgs

This stand, on the corner of Devon and Nagle Avenues, serves great dogs (Superdawgs) and burgers (the Whoopercheesie). Superdawgs opened in the 1950's as a car-hop stand and still serves customers that way.

4. Starting out as "Chicago Transit Authority", the band Chicago's first single to chart (at No. 71) was which of the following?
