Adieu, Monsieur Hot Dog

I was on the 105 yesterday near Loyola and I was shocked, shocked to discover that Mr. Hot Dog is no more.

Mr. Hot Dog! An NDG institution. A landmark, as in, "Take the 105 and get off at Mr. Hot Dog". He is no more, Mr. Hot Dog.

Now it's a Dagwood's. A franchise! What an insult.

First Cinema V, then Hobby World, now it's Mr. Hot Dog. I tell you, if Le Fameux/Famous "Cosmo's" closes, Sherbrooke Street in NDG is doomed from one end to the other.

Thank God for La Contessa - I don't know how many lamps I've bought there over the years, but it must number in the hundreds.

Don't we all suspect that La Contessa is really some mob front? Oh right, that's Honey Martin's.
