Food Trucks and DC Legislation 
I’m having trouble finding anything concrete that is being proposed in Title 24, but the food trucks I follow in DC are quite concerned that elements of this bill will cause them to close up shop. Comments on the proposition are due by tomorrow, so visit yesontitle24.com and send a note of support in to Helder
I love entrepreneurs, I love food trucks, I love competition, and I love small businesses. And I don’t like the idea of any business being put under due to government regulation. The food trucks in DC are providing interesting, good quality and moderately priced options to DC’s residents and those working in the city, why take those away?
As a frequent lunch buyer, I’m not at all impressed with the lunch options in my downtown office location, thank heavens the food trucks came along and saved me from a life of Au bon Pain sandwiches and food bars, and poor quality ingredients!
If DC is serious about making the city a vibrant, exciting place to live and work, they should start by making it as easy as possible for people to throw their hats into ring.

Long Live Roquefort by Bragg & Brown, who are doing amazing work with their videos. Someone should hire these guys. Also, check out their new video on Virginia’s stupid alcohol regulations.
