(Sept. 2, 2010) Editor:
Thumbs up to the Town Dandy’s suggestion of “Get Old Town a Taco Truck” (“Town Dandy,” Aug. 26). But why stop at a taco truck? When I worked in Philadelphia my favorite lunch options were the taco trucks, the fast-food Chinese trucks and the classic East Coast hot-dog/soft pretzel trucks.
Thanks for bringing back good memories of a quick, affordable lunch and the social aspect of sitting at your favorite downtown spot commiserating with other “wage slaves” or “passer-bys” on the virtues of your favorite truck.
