The Roanoke Weiner Stand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roanoke, Virginia<\/p>\n

While exhibiting in a show in Roanoke, Virginia, we found this unique weiner stand. Come to find out, it is Roanoke’s oldest restaurant and one of the most popular.\u00a0 It opened in 1916.\u00a0 Since I painted this picture, which was at 110 Market Square, across from the City Market, they have moved into the Market at 1 Market Square and opened another at 3601 Brandon.\u00a0 They\u2019re known for their grilled hot dogs and chili dogs.<\/p>\n

The prints of the painting were very popular, along with the set of four places in Roanoke. (Texas Tavern, Roanoke Weiner Stand, Billy’s Ritz and Agnew Seed Store)<\/p>\n
