Essie’s Original Hot Dog Shop since 1960

The semester done, Oakland sidewalks and streets deserted. We’d driven Laura and James to the South Side to meet Celeste. On the way back I was a passenger and got a few views of The “O”or “The Dirty O”  at the corner of Bouquet St. and Forbes. Through the windshield at the red light. Caught the close-up as the light turned green. Three towers of dorm behind.  Scroll down for both views.  If you are into hot dogs, this is the place. And a mountain of fresh fries spilling out onto the tray. I am sure there are plenty of stories.  Late night adventures at the “O”.

Everything seems empty without the students.
Neon lights wrap around the corner at Forbes and Bouquet Streets.
