    I saw my only Wienermobile at the Cliff Drive shopping center in Santa Barbara, California in the mid-1950s. I walked up to the shopping center and there it was, in all its glory! I was, however, surprised to see the chef, who I thought was a boy, was actually a little man, quite middle aged. I was dismayed, but enjoyed the experience of seeing a giant wiener parked in the lot.

About 10 years ago, somebody posted a photo of one parked in front a person's apartment, in an urban area. It had a surreal look,...(I wondered if they ran out of gas and abandoned it?) I knew they would never do that.
