I saw this (postcard of Frank's
Restaurant) on Ebay and wondered where it might have been located ....
thinking that it was surely long razed. But, the angled front door seemed
vaguely familiar, so I had
a look at my images of Fertitta's. Sho nuff .... the same building.

WOWZERS!!! Thanks, Dave!
Dave, that building does resemble
the Fertitta's building. I hated to see the original Fertitta's close, I have
never
eaten a better hot dog in my life. As I worked in that area most of my adult
life, I frequented the restaurant often.
But only to eat hot dogs. I don't believe I ever tried anything else.
