Summer Plans at Johnny O's
from SSW Radio Hosted by SSW Radio
Last year, Bridgeport's famous Johnny O's hot dog stand was devastated with two losses: Johnny O and his son, John Jr., both passed away. As a result, the 24-hour hot dog stand had to reduce its hours. "We've had a handful of our night owls be a little upset about that, and there is some third shift workers that come through that are a little upset about it," says Alex Veliotis, son of Johnny O. South Side Weekly's Layne Gerbig sat down with Alex and his brother Peter to hear about the history of Johnny O's and the brothers plans for the future. Hint: it includes pinball.
