[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who regulates the trucks on the National Mall?  The National Park Service or the DC government?  If the latter, don't hold your breath.  The DC Council in another spasm of "progressive" legislation basically eliminated the permit system for street vendors.  Now one sees on the street outside retailers pop-up vendor tables that sell the very merchandise that thieves just stole from the stores![/quote]

It’s the DC government. And the food trucks are also parking inside the mall. It looks and smells so [b]trashy[/b].[/quote]

I have never, in real life, encountered anyone using DCUM's favorite pejorative adjective. I guess I live in a bubble.[/quote]

How about crowded, dirty, polluted (both noise and air), unkempt and personally overwhelming. The food is not even good. It’s repetitive and expensive.[/quote]

Yes, tourist attractions typically are crowded, especially during tourist season. If I considered a place to be so awful, I would simply avoid visiting it.[/quote]

DC was doing just fine before all of these food trucks came along. It has always been a high tourist attraction, regardless of food trucks.[/quote]
