Who is that? I don’t recognize him or that flag.
Oh and the shop- millennials would be the ones keeping the damn place open- we love hot dog joints, and it’s affordable to us

So I guess the Boomers are to blame for the hot dog shop closing?

Boomers: Millennials and gen z… capitalism is the greatest thing in the world.
Capitalism: Your business has to change and adapt to the times or you’ll fall behind and never be able to catch up. It’s eat or be eaten.
Boomers: I refuse to change my business model and strategy let alone my shitty attitude for you damn youngins. I’ll go into debt and find some way to push the debt caused by my fuckups onto those punks.

No no no. Asbestos goes in the lungs. Lead goes in the brain.

So. let me get this straight. You were in business for 100 years. Clearly people were going there. So now you have to close, and are blaming a generation for your failure. But what about the people who were going there? Are they still going? Has that business dropped off because perhaps they all died of heart attacks and diabetes from eating your lethal food?
Look, I like hot dogs just fine on a rare occasion. We had a great local place called Spikes here in RI. They at one point started expanding to at least 6 spots and realized…yeah, there was not enough business for that. There are now down to 2.

The business closed in March. Clevelanders mourned it then, because the other hot dog shop down the block (Steve’s) burned down in 2015 and now there was only one place to get hot dogs 24 hours a day 5 minutes away from downtown.
The neighborhood there is Ohio City, and was gentrified in the 1980s, but Lorain Avenue, the main street marking the south border, remained a haven for cheap eats, thrift stores, and car lots. About 10 years ago, they started gentrifying the outskirts of Ohio City, and Lorain Avenue now has trendy restaurants and pet grocery stores, and there’s another spate of tearing down the old going on now. I figure someone in the neighborhood who saw the block with their long-closed neighborhood bar and club being torn down to build a few townhouses and decided it was millennials, because of course.
@Dioptase1 - That’s the Happy Dog, 30 blocks west. Millennials eat their hot dogs because they are seriously hand crafted by other millennials, and can be topped with anything in the kitchen including Froot Loops. (GenX, and boomers go there too, especially for the live music.)

Sadly, you just described the ownership/management of another place just around the corner from this joint. And unfortunately, they’re still quite in business.

You had rat anuses? We used to dream of rat anuses! You tell that to this generation, they won’t believe you.

This is pretty much the message in the UK, where we are being solemnly told it is our duty to return to the office, even if we like working from home and our employers are perfectly happy for us to continue to do so, in order to protect the profits of Pret a Manger and commercial landlords.

OK, I usually am not in with the “bustin’ on Millenials” stuff, but Froot Loops? On a Hot Dog? No, I cannot, just no.

Yes, because we all became vegetarians, and the 100 year old hot dog stand never adapted

Gen Z will save the frankfurter!
“ Dinner sausage consumption is fairly uniform throughout various income levels, while lower income families consume the most breakfast sausage.
Larger families eat the most breakfast and dinner sausage, as do younger families, with sausage consumption leveling off considerably for senior citizens.”
