@SeekWhatsRight I wonder what the advance paid to her for the book is, and also who her ghostwriter is? Does she come across as superficial in the book as she is reported to be in reality?

@Alfred Is food from Washington, DC food trucks near the mall safe?

@Anouk

@Alfred There are numerous food trucks that park in and around the mall in Washington, DC, but there are few restrooms. Where do the food truck vendors go to the bathroom?
