READERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: Frank's Restaurant, 3843 E. Pima St. Every town has a landmark that local people revere. San Francisco has the Golden Gate Bridge, St. Louis has the Gateway Arch, and Phoenix has the "TUCSON, 99 Mi." sign. Here in the Old Pueblo there is Frank's, an old-fashioned breakfast diner where the regular customers are more loyal than Secret Service agents. Located at the corner of Pima and Alvernon for about ... ever, Frank's serves low-priced, no-frills breakfasts to hundreds and hundreds of people each week. The high-octane coffee and down-to-earth food make the perfect combination to help get Tucsonans on their way to a productive day.
