Two trucks, Sauca and Sweetbites, were both forced by police to close up their truck and move locations yesterday due to an antiquated law. The law says that food trucks must have a line or be serving customers or else they can be forced to move locations by the police. Some say that the law is a loophole to benefit the brick and mortar restaurants.
I also strolled by Fojol Bros and Sweetbites yesterday at L’Enfant plaza and observed a police car hovering in their area with lights flashing. I guess I should have stopped by to chat with Sweetbites so they wouldn’t have had to move – doh!
Could all of this sudden police presence be related to the Congressional swearing in ceremony that was being held yesterday? I guess we’ll see if police activity lightens up now that the new Congress is in session and the security alert is over.
