This was the Hot Dog Shop
When I was growing up in Butler, Pa - one of our favorite places to eat was the Hot Dog Shop. In Junior High, we would go there for lunch and have a hot with everything and french fries with gravy. The waitresses there were amazing in how they could remember your order. You could have 5 or 6 people around the table. They would all order and the waitress wouldn't write anything down, but was able to yell out everyone's order exactly. Unfortunately the Hot Dog Shop is now closed. But They had a sign as you entered that said: "Through these doors pass the best people in the world, our customers." The links below are to pictures of some of the best people in the world, my friends. They are people who work hard trying to make this a better world for everyone and they still know how to have a good time.
Recreational stuff - Bike rides, Hikes, camping, canoe trips etc.
