When I lived in Springfield, Illinois, between 1974 and 1976 I enjoyed a local culinary favorite known as a horseshoe sandwich. Legend has it the horseshoe originated at the former Leland Hotel. It soon spread to many other Springfield restaurants and even a few in Illinois.
A horseshoe is two pieces of bread, meat, cheese sauce and french fries. A smaller version with one slice of bread is called a pony shoe. Typically, the meat was hamburger, chicken, ham or shrimp, but other choices have since been added, including plant-based selections.
My favorite place to get a horseshoe was Norb Andy's Taborin, located on East Capitol Avenue, which itself was a Springfield icon having been established in 1937.
I had not been to Springfield for more than a decade so when we made plans to visit a friend there recently I said I wanted to eat a horseshoe sandwich. I checked online and determined that Norb Andy's was closed. We wound up having lunch and a horseshoe at Obed & Isaac's Microbrewery and Eatery at the corner of Sixth and Jackson.
I had a pony shoe with an Angus burger. It was as good as it looked and the beer was great, too.

Pre-digital from my old 35mm neg. These are the early 1800s town houses which used to be situated on the corner of St. Anne Street and Springfield, their address being numbers 1 and 3 Springfield. They housed a doctors practice for many decades previously. Does anyone remember going there?
They were listed Grade II at one time but this did not save them from demolition. This was mainly because they had been neglected for so long beforehand and were well beyond economic repair. They were boarded up when I took this photo around 1992 and were still boarded up ten years later. In truth they were plain and lacking much interest, except for an exquisite fanlight.
The adjacent properties at numbers 5 and 7 Springfield (not in picture) were lodging houses run by the Bushell family. They owned the late Victorian cork warehouse building further down Springfield on the corner of Harker Street. A new fire station now occupies the whole corner site. Holy Trinity church used to occupy the cleared land opposite.
