No, Brighton is a totally different place and much more recent.
There is (or was, at least) one in Cranberry Twp. I stopped
there once coming back from a trip up north. I guess the
dogs were okay, but the chili cheese dog was a disappointment
as they used cheese sauce on it and the chili wasn't all that
great. I almost always end up getting a chili cheese dog when
I go anywhere that has them. Maybe I should try a plain dog
with ketchup, relish, and onions next time.
