Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English.
I’m June Simms.
On our show this week, we play music by The Lumineers.
We tell about some happenings in the world of football…
But first, how about going for a shopping trip...on a parked truck?
Fashion Trucks
For many years, food vendors in American cities have offered “meals on wheels” --- selling food from trucks. Hungry people can find more than just hot dogs or pretzels in these vehicles. Many serve high-quality food from other cultures.
Now looking for new clothing is becoming as easy and satisfying as exploring the tasty offerings of food trucks. Kelly Jean Kelly tells us about a new movement: the fashion truck.
Once a month, just after sunset, trucks fill an outdoor parking lot in Los Angeles, California. Some trucks sell all kinds of food products, from sweet ice cream to spicy seafood. Others have clothing or jewelry for sale. These vehicles are known as fashion trucks.
Many people have never seen a fashion truck before.
“When you come in, it’s kind of like like going into a closet, you know, and you sift through everything. It’s really cute.”
