"Chicago is said to have about 1800 independent hot dog stands, more than all franchised fast food chains combined. Every neighborhood has it's favorite local hangout, with a slightly different take on the classic Chicago hot dog, and it's own unique look and style. Read the story of Chicago's hot dog in the enclosed booklet, and visit a few of the many interesting hot dog stands with this 3-dimensional photo tour."

"In the 1950s, Lincoln Avenue was the gateway to Chicago from the north. At the edge of the city, new auto 'mo-tels' with the most modern amenities catered to auto travellers. Since then the little motels have fallen on hard times and many have been torn down. Read the story of Lincoln Avenue and take a tour in 3-dimensional photos to see what is left of this classic stretch of roadside Americana."

Chicagoan Carlos Cortez is one of the U.S.A.'s leading Chicano artists and poets. In this new collection of poems and scratch board drawings, Cortez shares his love and concern for the land of his mestizo and Yaqui ancestors. Cortez's art and words help us see with "bicultural eyes" the history of California (Califas) with a landscape alive with condors, cougars, tall saquaros, and even giant cloud formations. Cortez's poems speak in the persona of Koyokuikatl (Coyote Song), who places his strong clear verse in defense of its threatened inhabitants, In addition, he embodies the nostalgic traveler who is capable of "Beat" haikus or the wisdom of the Chicano working-class.
