Hmmm... I don't recall ever living in any place where they had such things.
We get occasional Kettle Corn stands and the one Big Lots has a hot dog cart
once in a while. There are a few taco trucks. And some years ago we had
people selling blankets and velvet paintings. Now you will see a few flower
sellers. But not fruits and vegetables with the exception of the cherries
and strawberries.
