It's clearly not a taqueria, right? And it's most likely not a truck or a cart, because those are not standing, but rather rolling... Is it like an exhibitor booth at a trade show? A corndog seller at a county fair? Are there taco stands that used to be in the Mission that I don't remember? Admittedly, I'll be clueless about anything that went on there, taco-wise prior to the late-80s.

But yeah, that's the problem when you let 2010 grads write articles like this: no historical context. Her wide-eyed wonder was adorable, though.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123364195474763594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-55504572631416254852013-03-20T15:25:11.831-07:002013-03-20T15:25:11.831-07:00The sad thing is that I can remember when the EBX ...The sad thing is that I can remember when the EBX used to carry some really good feature/investigative reporting (Google, for instance, their stories on the death of Lookout Records or employment law violations at Cafe Gratitude). There are so many idiotic parts of this article that I won't begin to critique it, but for me the most obvious point was, where was the author, Ellen Cushing, back in 1999, when this exact same story was written the first 100 times? The answer, after looking at her bio picture, her listed status as "fresh to death," and her LinkedIn page that has her graduating from undergrad in 2010, is: She was apparently still barely out of the womb. So while that's an explanation, it's obviously not an excuse -- wasn't there ONE SINGLE ADULT at EBX willing to take her aside and tell her about how we went through this thing called "The Tech Bubble"? Explained what Webvan was? Showed her some video from the Globe.com IPO party? Forced her to read at least 10 stories like <a href="http://www.salon.com/2000/04/25/party_5/" rel="nofollow">this</a>?GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261527701229835583noreply@blogger.com
