YES PLEASE!!!!!!

Awesome!!

very cool!

We would LOVE that! Could become a fun weekly event for our family.

Great idea! Thanks.

Exciting!!! Let's hope everyone comes out to support this so it can be successful.

I forgot to mention my favorite food truck is Happy Belly of course! Supporting the local business who offers "healthy" food truck fare and donates a percentage of proceeds to charity. Can't wait to see thier new menu in July!

Bring the food trucks, and King of Pops will follow (I hope!)

where is brawner park?

Happy Belly Curbside Kitchen can't wait to add this to our calendar!
We will be serving our scrumptious menu as well as our childrens menu.
This will become a great family event!

I am SO excited that the food trucks are coming to Smyrna. Happy Belly is my favorite! But I also love Sweet Auburn BBQ.

Tex's Tacos!!!

I'm sorry to put the kibash on this idea but I thought the whole idea of a food truck was for the food truck to come to people's places of business, e.g. an office building, to give employees another option for lunch rather than brown-bagging it or driving anywhere. It's good for the environment; it helps individuals save on gas; it gives employees more time to enjoy their lunch break, etc. The food truck pulls into the parking lot at lunch time and people WALK up to it to order. See how that works?

Can't wait! TBP is just over a mile from our house. A nice evening walk or bike ride and a chance to try a variety of foods in one location. Hopefully, some local musicians will eventually provide some entertainment.

I always find it interesting that some look for the negative in a novel business concept. Give these entrepreneurs some credit for making a go at an idea that is currently popular

I like the novelty of a food truck (as long as they have the appropriate health inspections). I imagine others do also and that's why they are so popular at festivals. But I really like the idea of supporting our local Smyrna restaurants as doing that provides stability and vibrancy to our town. Empty restaurants because the dinner crowd is hanging out in a parking lot doesn't help rejuvenate our town's economic situation nor help the entrepreneurs who have staked their claim in the brick and mortar rental in Smyrna.

I completely agree with you JWB. A few would rather look at the negative side of this instead of the positive. Food trucks can bring in more people who might never have a reason to visit this area on a Tuesday evening. If you have a good "brick and mortar" business then there will be no competition because the food trucks do not have licenses to sell alcoholic beverages and there isn't sit down seating, unless you consider a park bench or a picnic table to be competition. I have personally seen this in action in Los Angeles and it drives customers into "brick and mortar" business's because after they get done eating, what do they want to do? Go home or go to a local establishment and have some beverages and listen to some music or watch a game. Just my 2 cents worth.

I am more than excited to present this in Smyrna, my city of residence! The feedback with questions and fear is perfectly natural! Who are these people and why are they coming into our neighborhoods? What kind of impact will it make?! I would like to tell you a little of what I have experienced with the Virginia Highland location. There was anxiety and skepticism when this event began last year but was passed unanimously this year for the event's return. Also, the owner of the lot we use in town owns two brick and mortar restaurants within 1000 ft. Many of the patrons of the "Food Truck Night" are walking with their families and wouldn't have been in a restaurant otherwise but enjoy the opportunity to see their neighbors, let their kids play and do something different. I expect the same type crowd here in Smyrna. We will be working with a local food truck "Happy Belly" as well as promoting small businesses throughout the metro Atlanta area. Not only that but we will be donating to the "Smyrna Education Fund" on a weekly basis, again supporting the growth of our community. I am working on a promotion now that will not only benefit the event itself but promote patronizing local brick and mortar restaurants. All I ask is to try it out and see what you think. We are an amazing small town trying new things and while it can be strange at first, I want us to keep an open mind and be open to new opportunities for fun and community building!

Thank you Jennifer for bringing this concept to Smyrna. If it has dessert, it will rock!

Very cool. I saw one with a Big Green Egg grill like the one used at Muss and Turner's. Great burgers from those things.

Great idea...I enjoyed going to the one downtown.....I can easily walk to this and plan to do so!

A bunch of us jumped in the car to check out Food Truck Park. 1850 Howell Mill Rd. It was PACKED. Couldn't find a place to park and didn't want to have to hike so we went somewhere else for dinner. I couldn't believe how many people were there. Somebody's doing something right. We'll go back.

This is awesome - hopefully we'll have fresh organic salads/sandwiches. Wonderful idea to stroll the babies, walk the dogs and have a fun lunch at the fountain. THANK YOU MAX BACON FOR THIS..............we love our city and this is a great addition.
