My city has been invaded by the food truck trend and it seems to be helping local businesses. There is a new bar that allows a cookie ice cream sandwich truck sell outside and the two businesses help each other. Drunks like ice cream and both attract local college students. The red tape is horrible to jump through though. The historic district is where they all park and there are so many rules to follow. Overall they seem well liked and have actually helped draw in more people to downtown and have helped with growth.
