I've been wondering for the past week or so what happened to it -- wherever shall we fly our Grand Union flags?

Food trucks in the square!

As Ron Newman previously posted here, Cutter Square (the little parking lot next to Rosebud) is being used as a public plaza Sept. 9-11 with food trucks, balloons, and picnic tables. I went today for lunch, and the extremely nice folks at the Tenoch Torta truck said that this was a test to see if using that area as a permanent plaza was feasible.

Here's the food truck schedule. The tortas are pretty terrific, and the torta guys said they were testing to see if Davis Sq would be a good long-term location for them. (Whether that means their food truck or a brick-and-mortar location, they weren't sure).

Tenoch Mexican (Mon.-Wed., All Day)
Roxy’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese (Mon., 4 p.m.-9 p.m.)
Mei Mei Street Kitchen (Tues., 5 p.m.-9 p.m.; Wed., 5 p.m.-9 p.m.)
Kick*ss Cup Cakes (Mon. 11 a.m.-3 p.m.; Wed. 11 a.m.-3 p.m.)
