I can hear an Ice Cream truck coming from blocks away and it’s instantly recognizable.

Why aren’t there Taco Trucks cruising around the neighborhood with an instantly recognizable sound and menu? All the grownups would come running outside waving to the Taco Truck.

The Taco Truck was invented in 1974 so it’s been 50 years now. I’ve known the sound of the Ice Cream Truck since I was like 3 years old, but I barely even know where the Taco Truck is. You’ve got to follow them around on social media…

    lmao, I can’t believe someone actually beat me to this. I don’t live there now, but used to and worked in Cumberland in that CVS business park. There’s a little pull off spot in there where food trucks setup shop during lunch hour. I’ve never seen such variety in my life!

    Also, no taco truck is better than Pollos Locos, especially at 2AM while drunk stumbling out of the Scurvy.

    ETA: wait a sec. Jason, DJ, Rhode Island. You don’t work in that same business park, do you?

    ETA2: nvm, I stalked your posts a little bit and I very seriously doubt you are who I thought you might be. Weird coincidence, though!

      Nope. I worked for CVS (corporate) once upon a time, but not on the hill…and literally almost everybody in this state has worked for CVS, APC, or Electric Boat at some point in their lives.

        I didn’t work for CVS, just in the same business park.

        But yea, especially in Cumberland/Woonsockett it’s a CVS town.
