A different kind of Truck Stop begins in the Crossroads tomorrow

That’s not exactly how one might describe the vacant lot at the corner of 21st Street and Wyandotte in the Crossroads, but starting tomorrow night, it will take on at least two components of a classic highway fueling station:There will be trucks. And food will be provided.

The owners of the vacant lot, Copaken Brooks Development, have invited a number of local food-truck owners — Los Tules, Curbside Cuisine, CoffeeCakeKC, Good You, and Jerusalem Cafe among them — to park in the lot and serve their specialties tomorrow night from 6 to 11 p.m. for First Friday festivities.
