All those junkies hanging out with prostitutes - the Bergerons were correct in changing the name .... although I do think it would have been really cool to have sipped a ma-tai while being seated to William Burroughs at a Trader Vics. I suspected from the start that the two Hinky Dinks had no relationship to each other at all, and now definitely believe that to be true. Sometimes its fun to explore possible connections though, in the 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' kind of way, just for kicks. My life is now much better for knowing more about the various 'Hinky Dink' connotations out there - obviously I set a low bar for achievement. Midlothian is 23 miles from the Chicago Loop. With a fast car, you Chicagoans could be there in no time at all.
