Food truck scene - Atlantic Station

I have shown you the food trucks (and related fashion) in Midtown here and here.  Last Friday, I visited the food trucks in Atlantic Station.  For those of you in Atlanta, I highly recommend this location.  There is FREE parking, an area with tables, air conditioned shopping nearby, and slightly more casual fashion -





This time around, I chose a small hamburger from Slider U - 




This food truck was started at Penn State and is run by recent college graduates -




The hamburger tasted like it had been fried...and was delicious -





My daughters and I sat at a table near this lady who looked so cool in her splatter paint t- shirt -



She obtained it from the boutique she is opening soon in Atlanta.  If I can find out more information about it, I will pass it along.

Right across the street from our table, I saw this lady in a cute BCBG dress -



She was working at the station for The Grape, which is a wine bar and bistro.  They have a brick and mortar location in Atlantic Station (as well as Phipps Plaza and Vinings Jubilee).

Then, my kids spotted the snow cone man -







The syrup turned their mouths some lovely colors -





This guy with the cool hat was talking to the snow cone man when we walked up -




He recommended the spoken word open mic at the Urban Grind on Thursdays.  It sounds like a unique place.  I may have to check that out.

Then, I noticed the girl in the cute plaid shirt walking by -



So, I caught up with her -



I like the outfit even better from the front as the ruffle is set off by the high waist on the denim jumper.  The white sunglasses are a perfect offbeat touch.  Jacqueline and her friend Marji run a vintage shop on Etsy called Pony Up!

The next food truck location on my list is the Buckhead Theatre.  Maybe I'll see you there next Thursday night...
