Got word this weekend that the southeast Portland food cart pod Good Food Here is not closing as was previously reported. The property sale did not go through, so at this time, there is no plans to close the pod by summer's end. We'll continue to track the movement of vendors if and when that takes place.

Summer is here indeed, so remember, if it is 90 outside, it is 110 inside the food cart or truck, so give your favorite food vendor a break on really hot days. They may decide to close early.
Enjoy!
