I remember.

I also remember that my relatives, who were farmers in a remote rural area in the Midwest, depended upon a grocery truck which came out once every other week with supplies such as aluminum foil, sugar, toilet paper and other things which they couldn't produce for themselves. The arrival of "The Huckster", as he was affectionately called, was always anxiously anticipated, and caused excitement in the household.

As a kid, we were just as excited about the "Popsicle Man" whose frozen treats were secured in a small refrigerated container on the front of his bicycle. Ha! I'm really "dating" myself there. Today we do still have an ice cream truck which circles the neighborhood playing its happy melody during the summer months.

An increase in mobile businesses may actually be a very nice thing.
