With regard to all that craziness around the 5700 Wilshire block and the supposed restaurant owners who are parking cars in spots to prevent the influx of food trucks, a reader writes: "I work in 5700 WIlshire, where there's typically a line-up of up to 10 food trucks. I've noticed that in recent weeks, employees from the restaurants across the street have been parking junky cars there in the morning and leaving them so the trucks can't park at lunch time. They don't seem to care about the tickets. Think the restaurants really losing that much business?" [Eater Inbox]
