CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – A Charlotte bar has raised thousands of dollars to help a man out after someone stole his hot dog cart in Plaza Midwood.
Tom’s Happy Hound Hot Dog Cart was stolen early Wednesday from the parking lot at Hattie’s Tap and Tavern in Plaza Midwood, according to a post on the bar’s Instagram page.
