    as I went by the place yesterday I noticed there are two panels of glass above the doors that are etched with the hot dog shop motto, hopefully somebody will remove them and give them a home before they tear down the building

  6. I am over 50 yrs. old and remember going to the Hot Dog Shop every Sunday after church. With 5 in our family at that time....it was affordable to feed lunch to the family, visit with other customers and watch the one waitress that had the "drawn on" eyebrows!!! She Always looked surprised!!!!!

    that waitress. Her name was Mary.
    She was there forever! I can still hear her yelling orders to
    the guys up front. "Two hots! Two
    hots!"

  11. The name of the waitress with "drawn on" eyebrows was Vivian, not Mary. Mary was there for a long time too; but, not as long as Vivian.

  12. I remember the drawn on brows. I wonder how many of those ladies were there until closing?

    The place remains my best memory of Butler!
