This art is from from a set of 12 cards I published in 1984; it was the second such series of cards that came out that year. Perhaps you remember the board game Trivial Pursuit that was popular then? This effort spun off from that game. Anyway, there were questions about people and events on one side, with the answers and my illustrations on the other side. Can you answer the question about a once-popular Downtown restaurant posed on Card No. 7?
