What happened to 1901?




















Before I write further, I confess to never having eaten at this place, but I've definitely seen it around. =)

Recognise the number? Yep. It's the very same 1901 hot-dog stand that you've probably seen in shopping malls around town. I did a double-take when I saw this in The Curve the other day. After verifying that it's indeed 'the' 1901, the first thing that went through my mind was "WTF" followed by "Why?".

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the original 'brand', but I think this new look is really generic and lacks character. Also, this is a departure from their original strategy of simply having a hot-dog cart. We'll see if this works out for them in a few months.
