Gino's [Pictures]
For more than three decades, Baltimoreans feasted on the fast food at Gino's, a burger chain with roots going back to the 1950s and Colts greats Gino Marchetti and Alan Ameche. The last Gino's closed in 1991, but hope has remained alive -- and apparently has been rewarded, with news that a new Gino's opened recently in suburban Philadelphia. Its owners say there's a good chance Gino's could return to Baltimore sometime next year.

Founder
Baltimore Colts alum Gino Marchetti of the Colts has been hailed as one of the all-time best defensive ends in the NFL. He also founded one heckuva fast-food franchise, a staple of the Baltimore area for more than three decades.
