Do you have this where you live?

[Tonya]

Sweet Sixy's post about a popcorn truck got me thinking. What do you have where you live that others might not have?

We have the Paleta Bike. A guy peddles around on a bike ringing a bell everyday and sells Mexican ice cream. I always get the Strawberry and Cream flavor.

I saw on the street the other day, a guy was pushing a cart, I don't know what he was selling but I saw it's a grated ice with different colors and flavors.

I am new in this forum

Oh you have to have something! Even if it isn't food related. Something that makes you think home.

I have another one. I am sure others have this too...

Tractors driving through the middle of town (traffic lights and all) with a farmer and a dog on it.

We have the...
We have the...
UMM....

I don't know what we have, exept for REALLY GOOD b-b-q!

[cocker_luva]

we have a Popcorn Depot that sells popcorn, how strange. LOL

also we have a standard ice cream truck that sells popcicles, ice cream bars of all sorta, etc.

but thats it.

We have lots of people with slanty eyes who speak Japanese and read Kanji... but that could be because we live in Japan
In downtown Roppongi there are a lot of street vendors who make yakisoba and other dishes with ramen. I've never eaten at one though, my Japanese language skills are very poor

Just the ice cream truck in the summer and he usually comes through in the evenings nowadays. When my kids were small and I'd put them in for their afternoon naps he would drive by and his little song would waft up to their bedroom windows. End of nap for them!

[catcrazylady]

This is a neat thread idea!

How many of you know what White Castle burgers are? How many people drink Big Red?

I discovered while my ex was in the military and I met lots of people from many different places that many of them had no idea what these were. That's when I first discovered that a lot of things are regional. I guess I was pretty stupid before that because I always assumed that everyone had these things!

Tonya, we have the tractors in the middle of town too but ours are usually pulling hay wagons.

We have an IceCream van in Summer. We also have the donut bus LOL . Oh and the chippie van, good for when you are walking home at 3am on a cold Winters morning (After clubbing ), they have everything Hot dogs, Chicken schnitzel rolls, hot chips with, wait for it.....Cheese and Gravy .

Lol our City is so embarrasing.

[Tonya]

Oooh! The chippie van sounds good. We always have to go to Taco Bell or Denny's after clubbing. Nothing is open!

hmmmm, I have to think for some more things...

Oh! I know!

Do you have cruising?

Did you know that the movie American Graffitti was filmed in Modesto? This is George Lucas' hometown.

[cloverfdx]

Tonya yeah the chippie van is great, but now i am hungry (I did not feel like clubbing tonight so no chippie van).

Cruising??? If is to do with driving around town, then yes we do.

I did not know that about American Graffiti.

Hmmmm oh one of the Mad Max movies was filmed here, well just out of town in a place called Clunes (Useless information ).

Everytime i see the movie Queen of the Damned i think of home, because a Ballarat band member was in one of the deleted scenes, some goth guy i think his name is Ben (One of my friends knows him).

[anna_66]

Well, we have BK Hot Dog Stands. You sit in your car and they come out with a tray and put it on your window like they used to do in the olden days! J/K

[Sweet Sixy]

Well, I've already told you about our popcorn truck. We have a few other cool things in this little town too, we have an ice cream stand with a drive up window! We also have the bookmobile which is a traveling library pretty much, I LOVED That when I was a kid. Our town also has a lot of history, Mark Twains grave is here as well as is study and one of his homes. Thats all I can think of that would be really interesting.
