depends on the city you were in. Detroit didn't allow food trucks downtown until sometime in the last 12 months; I think the change was actually not long before the baseball season started. If the same ordinance applied to other areas of the city, it probably wasn't being enforced. Sandwich trucks used to work downtown Pontiac back when more people actually worked down there. No idea how Garden City did it. The few articles I've read on the subject concentrated on the Metro Detroit cities that are entertainment destinations - downtown Detroit, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Novi, Wyandotte, Plymouth and Ferndale. For whatever reason, Pontiac and Mt. Clemens weren't mentioned, even though they have lots of nightlife. Kinda off-topic, but last I read ( maybe 2 years ago) open grills/fires of any kind were also banned in downtown Detroit. That seemed to have something to do with the EPA and overall air quality issues in downtown.

They've been big biz in most metro areas in the US, but lots of weird local ordinances kept much of a food truck scene from developing here until the last 18-24 months. I think food truck sales only became legal in Detroit and Royal Oak this year; pretty sure it's still illegal in Birmingham (and maybe Novi and Wyandotte, as well) and not likely to change soon. I've heard there's been a good food truck scene in the Lansing area for a few years now, but haven't been up there to see it for myself.

yeah, if you're not living with mom-in-law, the invite shouldn't apply to you. is it that m-i-l just doesn't want to go alone? if that's the case, maybe just one of you could go with her.

If you're in the northern half of the O-C, the Elks Lodge on Scott Lake Rd. (just south of Dixie Highway) in Waterford Twp. is hosting a food truck rally tonight. there'll also be a disc golf demo going on. parking and admission are both FREE! ...and if you can't get there tonight, they'll also be doing it on the last Wednesdays in June and July, too. :D

I love the drive to Toronto, whether it's I-75 to the Ambassador and then the 401 or M-24/I-69/BlueWater/402/401. ...and I definitely wanna drive Michigan Ave. from downtown Detroit to downtown Chicago. :D Also, I'd love to do a backroads autumn tour from New England into Canada and then back into the States at St. Ste. Marie. Finally, there's Route 50 in northern Nevada, also known as "America's Loneliest Highway."

what are some of your favorite drives? what are some drives you wanna make some time?

I get the feeling that Weyland-Yutani is hiding massive amounts of info from Earth governments by the time the Ripley era is happening. Also, wasn't there over 50 years between the first and second Alien movies?

yep...Monday, November 26 at the Fox again. tickets range from $50 (last 3 rows in the balcony) to about $250 for orchestra pit. $70 seems to be the price for most of the seats. Of course, that doesn't include TicketBastard's sodomization fee. good luck! :D

I live a couple of miles from there.
