Roadside vendors...

I usually spend my weekends at the county park about 6 miles from my home. The route is a well traveled road with businesses leading out to farmland. Often, I've found people selling things on the side of the road... usually food.
On Saturday morning you can find a pickup truck in a driveway with small crates of corn harvested from a local farm. A few months ago, I bought a case. $20 for 50 ears of corn. It was the freshest corn I've had at a price much less than the grocery store. I was giving corn away as it was coming out of my ears!
Get it... the corn was coming out of my ears.

On the other side of the road is a string of warehouses and in the parking lot, a cooking trailer similar to the ones used in county fairs where a few women sell hot dogs and drinks. Next to them is a pickup truck filled with watermelon.
Both vendors have canopies to shield them from the blistering sun.

Down the road is a larger concession/catering truck with a walk-up window. It's in a clearing where cars can easily park to get food.

Last week a couple came to the county park with a small hotdog stand selling drinks, chips and hot dogs. They showed up again today and moved long the country part seeking signs of life!

Last year, coming back from a jobsite I saw a guy who had several large ice buckets and he was selling seafood. He owns a seafood shop and when they bring in too much catch, he sells it on the street... better prices than the seafood market and fresh.

I'm not sure what the local laws are for street vendors, I know in Hollywood, the rolling cafeterias are licensed. They also have their territory marked out. A Spanish woman (with 5 children) and her mother were cooking Empanadas and selling them from the trunk of their car, selling to the factories in the area, but they got flushed out by the 'roach-coach' drivers as it was taking away from their business and for sure the woman and mom were unlicensed.

Since COVID, I've been wary of buying any prepared foods from a street vendor, The corn and watermelon purchases are safe in my book. Also, they return every weekend so if I had a bad purchase, I'd have a chance they would make good on a re-selection!

Roadside vendors... gotta make a living.
