Need a hot dog!!!!!!!!!!!

[nebstater]

Even though I went out yesterday, and thought that it would be my last hunt for the year, (a blizzard type snow storm is due to hit tonight and tommorow), I decided to go out for a hour or so this afternoon before it hit. Went back to the park close to the house, just to see if I had got it all. Ended up finding a little over a dollar in change, but also found this neat old token. Never seen this one before. I don't even know if they ever had a outlet here in Lincoln. With snow in the air, and probably no more outings until sometime next year, I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season, and a very successful new year.

Hot dogs were nver referred to as 'Franks'.Hot dogs were 'hot dogs or weiners' - 'Franks' were Frankfurters(different altogether).Anyway from where I come from.

Larry,
That beats a ChuckE Cheese token all to heck. Cool token! That character reminds me of the dancing food during the intermission commercial at the old drive-in theater. Showing my age again.
I hope you can find the origin.
Congrats,
MM

Who remembers W.C. Frank Arcade?
« on: November 22, 2002, 09:44:34 AM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am from Omaha, Nebraska, and the midwest and specifically Omaha had a chain of arcade/restaurants calle W.C. Franks. They served Turkey meat hot dogs, man they were great! They had THE best arcade in town for three or four years till...gasp!...the crash of 84! They limped on for a few years, but eventually closed for good. Are there any still open somewhere? I miss them! Thats what drove me to Mame, cabinet building etc. Just trying to re-live those awesome 80s nights playing 'vids (as we called them then) at WCs. Or any other misty stories about arcades long gone?

Nice piece of Omaha history!

Happy holidays to you, Larry! Maybe we can get together & hunt sometime next year on one of our trips to Nebraska to visit my daughter.

Hey, nice photo. Council Bluffs isn't that far from Lincoln, so I guess that little token could have found it's way down here without too much trouble. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great looking token.
Have we dated this to be generally in the area of the early 80`s?
The font and design looks that way doesn't it? Fond memories for me too as i graduated high school about that time.

But my big question is for Warsawdaddy or anybody who knows the answer:
What is the difference between a hotdog and a frank?
(Sorry, I`m a TexCzech and they were all either hotdogs or sausages in my neck of the woods).

Frankfurters looked like a sausage except they had the red skin and meat similiar to the hot dog.Bigger around than the dog.They were the original'Pigs in a blanket' fixin's.
