Something maybe one of our Commissioner candidates can respond to or clarify

No mention of a guy in a white truck…..😎

I didn't.

Has anyone been in contact with this guy and brought the steaks?

I guess it's a way to make a living!!

Take some risk from store, no way off street for me.

This is an old scam, very old. Had a friend up north that owned a bar and bought a big order of steaks and chopped meat from a truck that were reasonably priced. They looked good. He tried one, was tough and didnt taste good at all. He brought a couple of tge steaks to the local butcher.
The butcher explained that the meat was low grade. They cut the meat very professionally so it looks like store bought. My friend had all the meat ground up to feed his dog. It is not horse meat.

I said in my first post, "Horse meat".
You say the meat was tough and didn't taste good but you really don't know, it sounds like house meat to me..

Depending on which ‘publications’ you believe....apparently we’ve all sampled horse meat if you frequent fast food chains!

I see you've sampled Buzzy's.

Of course, at 3 a.m., who cares what animal the meat came from.

The biggest crooks in the area weren't in the Charles St. Jail. The guy who owned the gas station right at Leverett Circle was the biggest crook in town.

Take a hard pass on that.

There's a guy selling supposedly fresh, wild caught Georgia gulf shrimp out of a truck in the Plantation of Leesburg once a week. I read about this on Nextdoor and from what I've read has gotten good reviews. I haven't tried it yet but I would trust that more than a guy selling steaks out of his car.

As I understand it, almost all shrimp is frozen immediately after it is caught. It is virtually impossible to buy fresh, never frozen shrimp, except off of the boat. When buying shrimp in the grocery store, you should buy it frozen, and thaw it yourself. It is better than the previously frozen shrimp sold by the store in their seafood case. Publix sells never frozen fish, but they never claim to sell "fresh" shrimp.

Most established communities certainly do NOT. I have called The Villages Community Watch, Wildwood Police, and Sumter County and they all said there's nothing that can be done to stop them.

I've never seen any other part of the state that had a "Do Not Knock" ordinance.
