Bob and Carol visited us a few days ago with their son Alex.  Carol is a Barkers fan from way back.  She remembers the days when we had the famous mobile vending carts downtown.  We’ve got a picture in both locations of people waiting in line for Barkers Red Hots at Woodruff Park taken from the Trust Company Building.  But on this day, there was another reason why the family spent some time with us—-it was Alex’s 11th birthday.  Barkers is where they chose to celebrate with hot dogs and present opening.   We love it when our long-standing customers bring their kids in and get them into the Barkers groove.  Here’s Alex with his parents on his big day.
