Midwest Heroes 14 - Dr Daugherty will see you now

He's coming to town and looking to party

One of the most incredible things about local newspapers is their total willingness to put anyone on the front page, for anything.

That brings us to January 17, 1974 where the breaking news in Arthur, Illinois was about Dr Daughetry’s new office.

What is Dr Daughetry actually looking at? No one knows, but if I had to guess it’d be a pile of freshly smoked baby back ribs. I mean look at that devilish grin.

For the off camera baby back ribs, a smirk heard around the world, and a part time dental office in Arthur, Dr Daugherty is a midwest hero.
