Here's a solution...find them an underused carnival type food stand we all see that set up shop for a week at various events. Permit it, get it located close by in a vacant lot or city owned lot for a few months, and get these folks back in business ASAP. Come on Deval and Lawrence pol's....get on the stick. Here's another idea...invite Obama for a hot dog...he loves them and bet they'd be back in business in no time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730552595439161417.post-52695988858978935692011-01-03T11:42:46.586-05:002011-01-03T11:42:46.586-05:00Good point, and thanks for your post.

It would be slammed for ignoring the problem. Indeed, lack of traffic seems to no longer be the issue. Lawtons owners tell the Tribune there's an even bigger problem -- a crumbling canal wall -- forcing them to move.<br /><br />It sounds like the real villain is the city not the state for not smoothing the way for a relocation to the open spot or a suitable spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
