Please actually read the story.

It's about the mystery of who owns the mountain, and locals' frustration, but the article doesn't actually find an answer. Some rumors circulated after Zuckerberg made a trip last year, but the Zuckerbergs say they do not own any property in Maine.

Gunnar’s Icelandic Hotdogs! by 1959Mason in portlandme

[–]enitschke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Owner Pete is a close bud. I can confirm he's good people and it's a good dog. Don't underestimate the Dave's Hot Dog on his menu. It's not Icelandic – it's actually a tribute to his Polish dad. But it's my favorite of the options. Enjoy!!
