Synopsis:

Vacant parking lots in the Portland, Oregon, area are finding new life thanks to food carts. Portland has seen a significant rise in the number of movable food stands. Neighborhood-oriented clusters of food carts are appearing outside of downtown on vacant parking lots. It’s a great transitional tool being encouraged in the area to find new uses for the land-hogging lots that are becoming antiquated. The concept is a great “interim idea for locations where there is no market for buildings.”
