Thanks, writes a reader, to Jim, who has been working at the Hot Dog Shoppe for as long as I can remember. He is always cheerful, always seems happy to greet customers, and always has a kind word and a smile. The food is wonderful, but Jim is also a big part of what makes going to the Hot Dog Shoppe a consistently positive experience.

Thanks, says The Review, to First United Methodist Church on Fifth Street in East Liverpool for replacing the landscaping around the church. It is beautiful and colorful.
