But it's not Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago.
There is a new cafe somewhere off of division and western called "Fromans".
I'll never forget a couple of years back when, while with the Cubs, Randall Simon hit one of the Brewers' Sausage Race mascots with a bat. To make up to the fans for it, he promised to buy sausages for any section that a home-run ball of his landed in. When it finally happened, Chip Caray made the call "Abe Froman might be the Sausage King of Chicago, but Randall Simon is now the Sausage King of Milwaukee"
Long lost Froman brother finally returns to windy city!
Like people, Sears became less cool when moved from downtown Chicago to a suburb.
That's the joke that writes itself!
