A new way to shop: The fashion truck

“This is a way to attract impulse purchasing. There’s a lot of money out there right now, just a lot of loose change.”

And there is a lot to purchase with that loose change. Stacey Steffe says business owners are putting more than just nice stores on wheels.

“Any kind of business you can put in brick and mortar, you can put into a vehicle.”

So, there is a truck that sells flowers, and another that features specialty sportswear. A non-profit group, St. Vincent de Paul, sells used goods from its store on wheels. Such trucks have also attracted the attention of local officials. Ms. Steffe says she is working with the city of San Francisco to create laws to rule the growing industry.

Football News

Americans this week have been asking questions about a star football player, Manti Te'o.

Manti Te’o is a linebacker for the University of Notre Dame, a school in Indiana. He helped the team win all of its twelve games in the 2012 regular season. His team went on to the college football’s national championship game. It lost to University of Alabama.

Te’o led Notre Dame in tackles and interceptions. He was a nominee for an important honor in college football, the Heisman Trophy.

When asked about his performance on the field, Manti Te’o said he played well because of his girlfriend, who died recently. He said the girlfriend, Lennay Marie Kekua, was a victim of the disease leukemia. He said she died on the same day that his grandmother died last September.
