A favorite among kids and adults alike, hot dogs are one of the
United States most popular foods. Detroit’s claim to
fame is the Coney dog, a natural casing frank topped with chili, onions, and mustard. Whether your favorite place is Duly’s, American Coney
Island, Lafayette, National or any of the other thousands of coney islands statewide, chances are you’ve tasted this iconic meal in a bun.In an election year where nothing seems certain, Americans are frank about their top concession at the ballpark as the hot dog remains the favorite food for fans from Citizens Bank Park to San Francisco Bay.According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council’s 2012 report on Major League ballparks, Americans will consume 20.5 million hot dogs this season, enough to round the bases 28,489 times, and if laid end to end would stretch from the new Marlins Ballpark in Miami to Coors Field in Denver!The first words that Walt Disney's immortal creation Mickey Mouse ever uttered in a cartoon were “hot dogs” (in “The Karnival Kid, 1929). The cartoons he was featured in were silent ones up until that point.

Cobblestones is growing! Every Sunday morning, 415 plus “Cobbles” receive their weekly dose of New Castle’s comings and goings and other good and interesting stuff! Cobblestones is my “fun” project, a pay back to the community. There is no charge to community organizations for their listings. Space for commercial/business ads require a donation of $50 to cover time and materials. The rate that covers four random insertions. Ads should be a moderate size. A jpg or PDF works the best. Let me know early in the week an approx. size with a final copy Thursday. If it's just a listing for “events”, please send me copy as soon as possible. Personally, I would like to thank everyone for your interest and participation in the growing Cobblestones family. Anything I can do to help, please let me know.

For the average person, there are few foods more addictive or satisfying than a serving of
french friesWhether they're thin-cut or steak-cut, shoestring-style or Belgian-style, curly or crinkled, fries are a food that Americans hold near and dear to their hearts. Want fries while visiting London for the Olympics? Head to the golden arches. McDonald's signed an exclusive sponsorship deal with the International Olympic Committee, part of the agreement was that none of the 800 food retailers near Olympic sites would be allowed to sell french fries during the Games.However, there is a catch! Non-McDonald's vendors can sell fries, as long as they are included with fish!So in honor of National French Fries Day*, here is a look at some unique and innovative versions of this iconic dish
