The highly popular show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on The Food Network shot an episode at our client TLofts today. This came from our continued use of food trucks that placemark TLofts, a new for-sale eco-friendly loft community, as a go-to destination. Host Guy Fieri was there, and his trademark red convertible Camaro drive-up shot perfectly framed TLofts behind him.
The food trucks are taking over LA and we love it! Especially since we’ve partnered with many of them to bring traffic, prospects and PR to our client’s TLofts development in WestLA. The trucks stop by TLofts Monday-Friday, so come out and sample some of this gourmet street food. This link will take you to the weekly schedule.
For a primer on all the great truck food, check out this video from the folks at WunderBlog covering their recent truck tasting tour. Their first stop is at TLofts.

Here’s a bright idea. The website RideAmigos.com coordinates eco-friendly event transportation, allowing people to connect with other event attendees to share a taxi, chauffeured hybrid or carpool.
It works like this: Log on to rideamigos.com and enter your desired commute in the rideamigos ridematcher™. Next, contact a matching amigo, or post your own commute if no match is found. Wait for a response and then enjoy your shared ride, while saving money and reducing pollution!
RideAmigos.com also offers a great marketing angle for companies. Its proprietary widget lets companies incorporate the ride-sharing functionality into their own websites to promote event or non-event ride sharing. RideAmigos will even measure everyone’s carbon offset at no cost and plant 10-30 trees for each ride taken.
At red rocket LA, one of our clients is TLofts, an eco-friendly, urban loft project. We’re planning to use RideAmigos.com to generate attendance at and PR for its grand opening event.
