Theme Day: Worker
Today is December 1, 2014 Theme Day across the world-wide CDP (citydailyphotoblog) community. This month's theme is of the worker population. Easy one. Find someone who's working and click away. Here's Mark making his stand. Could be his last stand. I don't really know or pardon me for saying this really, care. Unlike a lot of photo bloggers, unless I know them, they go nameless, anonymous. This guy has a hot dog stand at Tommy's Park in the Old Port. The stand has competition, lots of pushcarts and food trucks in the summer, of course, but even in winter there are always a couple of wagons in the area. Heck, this guy must have a real following. He sells t-shirt, for crying out loud. That's not an expression I use a lot, but it fits here.
Nope, never have sampled his goods.
Don't plan on doing it soon either.
Elenka has taught me a lot about what I put into my body.
Greasy dogs and burgers with cheese, onions and sauerkraut.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
He's got a fine Christian forename though.
Mark.
"Mark established 1983." He's doing something right if he's lasted that long. Not everyone has an Elenka to keep them eating sensibly.
ReplyDeleteMust be a welcome sight to workers on their lunch breaks.
ReplyDeleteGood for Elenka! She sounds like such a good woman!!
ReplyDeletei've never had a hot dog off a cart before...i bet they are good, no matter how bad for you!
ReplyDeleteElenka is very persuasive but she'd have to twist my arm to wean me away from brats. . .I'm originally from WI for crying out loud. That would be a terrible scarifice. I'd gladly visit your worker.
ReplyDeleteEverything in moderation hey Birdman, a hotdog every now and then won't kill you... or a Krispy Kreme :)
ReplyDeleteEven more than the photo itself, which is good, I liked your reflections, and I substantially agree with most of them...
ReplyDeleteabout once a year or so i have a hot dog. that's it. now, burger and fries? probably a bit more often. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very, very careful about what I buy from street vendors so I think I'd pass on the hot dogs too.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a tough way to make a living. Even if his name is Mark. No hot dogs for me, either.
ReplyDeleteI rarely post a named person either, the again we don't have street vendors here unless it's a special event. Tshirts and hit dogs, not your usual combo.
ReplyDeleteEvery once in awhile I'll stop for a dog, but not often.
ReplyDeleteHis stand doesn't look too busy. Guess it's early.
ReplyDeleteIt was mid-afternoon. Lunch rush over, I guess. There are plenty of office workers who walk and search out lunch options in the OP.
DeleteLet's hope he has work for some time yet.
ReplyDeleteI always go for the veggie dog! When you put all the dressings on you can't tell the difference. And there is no fat.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he eats Hot Dogs for lunch.
ReplyDeleteGreat image for the theme.
