I'm really surprised that it went downhill, since it wasn't an ownership change but simply a cosmetic name change. What a shame.

You're saying the owner of Fluky's just decided to change the name of the place after all these years? I don't get it.
press release wrote:CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2006--Old endings and new beginnings--Fluky's on Western (6821 N. Western Ave., Chicago), long known for serving Chicagoans the premiere Chicago Hot Dog, will be closing and re-opening as U Lucky Dawg on February 14. Larry and Randee Estes have owned this location for eight years. They believe this is the best way to continue giving Chicagoans the excellent food, service and dining experience that was the original guiding philosophy of Fluky's founder Abe "Fluky" Drexler.

That appears to be the only Fluky's open according to LAZ who comment on this a few weeks ago.
