In Raleigh, on the edge of downtown, there’s a coffee truck that causes many customers to do a double-take.  The women pouring ‘cups of Joe’ are wearing fishnets, lingerie and other sexy attire.  The truck is appropriately called 'Cup O Jane.'  The entrepreneurs who started this risque coffee service were looking for options after a lay-off.  And if there’s one thing for sure, even in a down economy, sex sells.

Food trucks are all the rage when considering cuisine and Greensboro wants to get in on the trend. The city is conducting a limited trial of food trucks to see how well they fare.

Host Frank Stasio gets a Triad news roundup from Greensboro Bureau Chief Jeff Tiberii.

A limited number of food trucks will be allowed in part of downtown Greensboro this fall.

The Greensboro City Council voted 7 to 2 last night, in favor of a pilot program that will run during October and November. Ten supporters told the Council they believe food trucks will offer more affordable choices to students and employees downtown. No opponents of the measure spoke at the meeting.
