Local Homeless Encampment Opens Taco Truck In Hopes of Attracting Media Attention

A  Rockford homeless encampment has opened a taco restaurant in hopes of attracting media attention. The new restaurant, located behind the Shumway Market and the abandoned Midway Theater, has hopes of serving taco-loving patrons from all corners of the Forest City.

A spokesperson for the fledgling restaurant said "We're here year around, but no one seems to notice anything East of Block 5. We hope to change that." 


One of the first patrons to be served exclaimed: "It seems like the perfect win/win for the homeless community, because even though what remains of the media in Rockford has no concern about social issues, they are obsessed with tacos, so we thought, if we give them tacos, maybe they'll give us places to live."

For those interested in partaking in the streetiest of street tacos, they can just Stroll On State past the Free Speech Zone and follow their noses one block Eastier than they were ever told they could go East and still be Downtown. Someone will take your reservation.
