This week, we talked to Natalie and Kevin Koedel of McKeesport, owners of K-Dogs Hot Dogs.
They gave up their 9-to-5 jobs to run a hot dog cart on the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets, Downtown. What keeps them in the McKeesport area? What are some good ideas for other people, who might want to start a small business, to keep in mind?
What would they like to see along Fifth Avenue and Walnut Streets to help business in Downtown McKeesport? And how will their new partnership with Sonshine Community Ministries enable them to start delivering meals in the area?
Next week, we're planning to talk with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board about a new study examining the spread and impact of underage drinking. If you have a question or a comment about underage drinking and you'd like us to ask the PLCB, you can tweet to us at @tubecityonline, or email tubecitytiger at gmail dot com.
The show airs at 9:30 a.m. Fridays on McKeesport's WEDO (810). And you can subscribe and listen online, any time, via Stitcher and iTunes.
