    Wow, Mel is the best, theres none like him, I met him years ago when o stopped on for lunch, he's the kindest, nicest man I ever met, Mels hotdogs are most definitely the best in town hands down! I do pray who ever buys it keeps it the same and doesn't change a thing and keeps his awesome legacy 2:37 on forever!

    Wish I'd seen that place when I was last there. Maybe, next time I can drop in for a hotdog. I really hope he finds the right person to buy it.

    We had a place like that up in Albany New york. L-Ken’s. It was taken over and driven into the ground. The sign had a rotating hot dog with neon … one side said snacks. The other Drive-In on top of the sign …. When you ordered a hot dog. You ordered a spinner…. A deeply missed institution Built in 1962 closed 2007. Torn down 2016

    Yep, it might have been a landmark for the past 50 years but times have changed. When I saw all those old empty tables, it was clear that his days of many loyal customers coming in for a hotdog was long gone. If he owns that real estate then the value of that property alone is worth much more than his business.
