Murder Near Top Dog

topdog.jpg

A man was fatally shot near Top Dog hot dog dining establishment in Berkeley last night. According to the Oakland Tribune, "[t]he name of the man in his late 20s was not immediately available from police, who said he is not a UC Berkeley student." (Well, thank God. Because that would have been upsetting.) It seems that the victim and the shooter were having a heated debated just before the murder. Then after getting shot, the young man staggered into a "multi-unit apartment building parking lot east of the Top Dog" (on Durant Avenue and Bowditch Street), fell into a heap, and died.

Another unidentified man was also shot. He was taken to Highland Hospital in Oakland and is expected to live. Hopefully. Oh, and no arrests have been made.

That Top Dog is delicious but fighty. I once saw a man punch a man on crutches in the face over a top dog. Then he ran away and the man on crutches silently chased him.

Crazy place.

 

Ok, now I want to go to Top Dog. Dammit.

 

OMG!

I went there yesterday for lunch (and got shortchanged for the second time in a row and walked away muttering, "I'm never going there again!")
