Mary Jander I hear you, Hazel. I've had food poisoning once. That was enough to make me cautious for life. Of course, we know all too well that licensed restaurants can be just as likely to foster contamination...
Hazel I love food trucks and grabbing a bite that has all the familiar flavors of home (and of the locale) but this is one of my fears: hygiene, quality control, safety. If these were regulated, then I'd...
Alan Reiter Hi Mary. In general, the best way to keep track of food trucks is to follow them on Twitter or Facebook. Food trucks typically are restricted to the areas where they may park and the time periods...
Mary Jander Thank YOU for the link, Alan! When I'm in Halifax, I'm too focused on the great brick-and-mortar eateries to pay attention to food trucks. Actually, I have never seen a food truck there!
Alan Reiter Hi Mary, Thanks for the link to the article about Columbus food truck health regulations. As a cynic/realist, I wouldn't be surprised if some cities enact regulations that are especially difficult...
Alan Reiter Hi Amy, I wish there were more food trucks in my Chevy Chase/Bethesda area because I rarely get to D.C. I should plan a day eating my way through D.C. food trucks during the afternoon and evening...
Mary Jander Just happened to see this article about how food trucks in Columbus, Ohio, are having trouble meeting city health regulations. There seems to be an inability for the city and the food truck vendors...
Davedgreat2000 Rich,
You have done a great job in answering my questions. Its a great topic to discuss. I look forward to more of your articles.
richheap Yes, it's an interesting piece and one I wouldn't have sought out otherwise. Thanks for your questions, even though I don't think I completely answered them!
Davedgreat2000 Rich, What a great article in the Economist about Rail and the new technologies. I think the furtue is going to be in Rail, be it in Freight or light passenger rail. The problem is going to be getting...
richheap Hi Davedgreat2000. Apologies for not getting to this extra bit of research on Friday, but I've found a few more links that may be of interest. First, Future Cities isn't the only site looking at...
richheap This is something I'd need to look at more. Yes, as far as I understand it a lot of these road journeys happen at night, although sometimes that isn't possible. And as for the impact on traffic in...
PeterJ From an investment/infrastructure perspect, I see us returning attention to freight when energy prices are high, and then retreating from it when those prices are more tolerable. A long-term strategy...
Davedgreat2000 Well forcing through projects would be nice in some cases. However, we are trying to build a new oil pipeline through much of the mid western states, the government wants it (at least some people...

richheap In Europe, the problem for rail freight is that rail networks have to cross many national borders, and the countries where the rail lines travel through won't necessarily be those that stand to benefit...
