Do we really need two stories of hot dogs? No, this isn’t a hypothetical question; do we as Atlanta residents need two stories of gourmet hot dogs? I have been waiting on a hot dog retailer to start in this city for YEARS but frankly, I just think two stories of hot dogs is one too many. It just is!
And a block south, we have been struggling to comprehend Buddy’s strategy and corporate vision through its recent aesthetic improvements – taking down the iconic Buddy’s lettering, painting the awning, transforming from a Citgo into a Chevron, etc. Still, they have not done a thing with that flower shop that was supposed to be the King of Pops’ shop, and the latest development is a small shanty town on the north side of the store. Seriously, what is going on at Buddy’s?

The doors on that little elves’ workshop/shanty are extra skinny, too. And when did they start building that deck?
Could it be a magic weight loss sweat shed – you go in the double doors a fatty and come out the skinny french door a week later?
6-feei-under style 2-story hot dog joints leave your puny 1-story burger filing stations in the dust. High-rise processed meats must prevail.
But put something else on the ground floor! Seems to fancy to have two floors dedicated to a food you aren’t even supposed to have a table or plate to eat.
And if that were my hot dog cafe, I would name it Frankly, My Dear, I Don’t Give A Ham(burger) instead of something ridiculous like the Haute Doggery.
Haute Dogs? And we don’t eat “franks” down here.
The ex-flower shop was supposed to be an edifice for the King of Pops, and he (and family) are out there sweating in the heat? Now I’m pissed off.
Is there any sort of zoning or permit process required at Buddy’s, or do they somehow have carte blanche to start (but not finish) as many crazy projects as they want?
I can’t wait until that little shed opens. I hear that patio is going to be better than Neighbors.
Yes, OK, I live about two houses down from Buddy’s, and was DEVASTATED to see the perpetually-crooked-and-just-waiting-to-fall-on-someone’s-head-and-kill-them name sign removed from the building. And then it stopped even showing up on my credit card statement as BUDDY’s ANYMORE!
The addition of this eye-sore of a confusing construction mess is just the last blow….at least there are popsicles nearby….
