Wedl's Burger Stand in Jefferson, Wisconsin

This tiny Burger place has been in business in Jefferson, Wisconsin, since either 1916 or 1919, depending on who you ask.

Several years ago a driver came around the corner and hit the gas instead of the brakes and plowed right through the tiny building. Fortunately nobody was hurt but the building was smashed.

The city decided that they could not rebuild since it was on the "wrong" side of the sidewalk and was not allowed.

The city rose up in outrage and told the city that they certainly can and will be able to rebuild the hut.

As you can see, it was rebuilt and still does a large business. It is open in the summer only.
