Hot dog!

Franks are $2, toppings are free for Towson night-owls
Around 11 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, while most kitchens are closing for the night, Troy Bolling is just getting warmed up.
He counts his hot dogs. He packs his toppings. And he tows a cart from his apartment in Courthouse Square to the corner of York Road and Pennsylvania Avenue.
To bar-hoppers and passers-by, he's known as the "hot dog man." But what his customers don't know is that Bolling got his start grilling at tailgating before football games at Towson University.

Buried among decades of change
4/7/05
At the edge of a long flat parking lot east of York Road, behind Burger King, across the street from a high-rise condominium, through a rusty iron fence, there's a cemetery. For 140 years, a tiny, family-owned plot of land along Shealey Avenue has served as the final resting place for at least three -- and possibly as many as 18 -- former residents of Towson. Only one gravestone has survived the decades.
Heritage Properties, which owns the Towson Circle parking lot that surrounds the cemetery, plans to construct housing for 600 students and a large retail complex on top of the parking spaces. But a small green space will be preserved around the edges of the gravesite.
