  1. When I was in High School a "guy with a hot dog cart", literally, a hand pushed hot dog cart, showed up every day on a vacant lot across the street from the school and sold hot dogs to the students. His prices were "high school student friendly". There was always a crowd at lunchtime and it became a social event as well as lunch. We brought our own drinks and stood around socializing and eating dogs. Before long he had a van/food truck to handle the demand. He added a variety of cold bottled soda. After a while, the guy rented the vacant lot and installed a mobile home as his "hot dog stand" with some indoor seating and many outdoor picnic tables AND added a generous portion of French fries with every dog. A few years after I graduated he had built a very nice Diner/Drive-In restaurant, still selling hot dogs.

  2. A great comedian, I don't remember who, said: "As long as hot dogs are sold in packs of 10 and buns are sold in packs of 8, America cannot hold it's head high!!!!!!"
