Cappas, a one-time "drug kingpin" as the papers called him, was making $25,000 a week selling cocaine before he went to federal prison in 1989 for what turned out to be a 15-year term. He was released from prison in 2004 and this summer with a partner bought the hot dog stand. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
