Springfield has long had an affiliation with food. The corn dog on a stick was invented in the city under the name “Cozy Dog,” although there is some debate to the actual origin of the popular snack. The horseshoe sandwich, not well-known outside of the city, also originated in Springfield. Springfield was also once home to the Reisch Beer brewery.
The alleged first U.S. drive-thru window is still in operation in Springfield at the Maid-Rite Sandwich Shop.

greek population
City rating:
Melbourne actually has a larger greek population than any city outside Athens, not outside Greece. The population of every Greek city bar Athens is actually less than the Greek population of Melbourne.
