I don’t know about you, but I’m going to hit up the food trucks at Farragut today. I can’t get enough of that chicken on pita. Yum.

Here’s a guy working his cart back in 1928 … the good old days, just before the economy fell off a cliff.

See you at the food trucks!

Looks like an organ grinder to me. Note the S-shaped handle below the speaker … Used to come down P Street in G’town when I was a kid in the ’30s …
