Yes, it's charming

But it would be nicer to have a grocery store or two nearby.

I haven't seen a Bentley's truck in Central City but I have seen several like it. Over-sized food vendors ride through the area fairly often and at unusual hours. At 9:00 PM the appearance on your block of a large, brightly illuminated van playing eerie carnival music feels sort of like a UFO sighting. You aren't sure what you've seen makes sense and you don't know if or how you might go about describing it to somebody.

I'm guessing most of the trucks I see have been following second lines all day. But it's also probable that they're selling "various vegetables, cheese, and school supplies" because the nearest Rouses is 4 or 5 miles outside of the neighborhood.
