Cho Sun Ok at Berteau and Lincoln Avenues has a phone booth just like it, though not treated as a decorative feature like this one.

The hot dog was decent. The tamale is a hot dog stand tamale. I didn't try the 'tub.

I really liked the place (even the outside) and the proprietor a whole lot more. Lots of 'character'.

Post #20 - November 5th, 2006, 4:19 pmNow I know where to get The Tub.
I have been there a long time ago. When the kids were little and we needed a quick bite.
I was just driving by last week and thought about stopping so I could post here. Great graphics on the outside too.
Thanks!

Post #21 - November 5th, 2006, 5:22 pmIt's a very cool place with lots of back story which, I assume, we'll be hearing about soon. Unfortunately, the food is not all that great.Steve Z.

I worked in the building that Marina City is being reflected off of for 14 years. The old Quaker Tower.
