No More "America's Dog" at BP Gas Station -- Re-branding to "Urban Counter"?

A couple people have noticed that the "America's Dog" signs at the BP gas station (Southeast corner of Roosevelt and Wabash) have been covered up.  If you recall, the hot dog spot opened a couple of months ago in August.

While it's still functional and serving food, the owners have decided to go in a different direction.  Not sure why, but from what we've been told it's going to have a broader menu and potentially will be called "Urban Counter".

  1. The America's Dog in Lincoln Park (per a sign on their door) is also in the process of changing its name to Urban Counter.

  3. Celebrating a hot dog stand in the parking lot of a gas station is why people throughout the city equate the South Loop with Bronzeville and Englewood.

    Further, I'm not sure which is more disgusting: (a) sitting down and eating food at a gas station, or (b) purchasing groceries at the Jewel on Wabash.
