I hope trucks like this are banned from Shirlington and surrounding neighborhoods. As a homeowner in Shirlington it is rather disturbing to see Sheyla's truck hogging precious street parking as well as trucks such as this one, food trucks, and unmarked trucks and work vehicles parked on the streets and surrounding Shirlington neighborhoods. If Sheyla's is that interested in selling their wares, then they can rent one of the vacant storefronts like everyone else. If Sheyla's wants to be part of the Shirlington community she can pay rent rather than at like a parasite in our community.

Not fair to everyone else.

Free up the parking spaces she takes up. How is it that the police haven't removed her long ago??? Doesn't she need a permit? Is she paying someone for the space? Doesn't seem fair to the merchants who pay rent!

I come to Shirlington at least once a week and have been frustrated more than once looking for parking while this truck takes 2 spaces. It is not right. Why happens if other truck owners decide they can do the same thing? Where will it stop?

As the owner of Hula Girl Bar and Grill in the Village - I am frustrated that this truck is constantly parked in front of our businesses. I know that may be ironic since I started my business from a food truck - but, as a responsible owner I never parked our truck in front of businesses. I fought for the rights of truck owners to have a say in vending - this woman is not respectful of our business and it is time that she moves on. SO many of our customers have had issues with finding parking - especially on the weekends..Arlington really needs to ban trucks from Campbell Ave - it is too dense with similar business that pay a pretty price to be there.

It's an eye sore and needs to be removed

Could not agree more, she makes Shirlington Village look like a flea market. Diminishes value-perception for all tenants and she constantly parks illegally (both out of the legal zone and often all day long!)

Not Fair to restaurants and other businesses that have to pay rent and taxes for these trucks sell merchandise from the streer.

I agree that the truck owner should play by the same rules as everyone else!

Yes, we along with others have been inconvienced by this non-permit illegal practice. This should not be allowed. Patrons will go elsewhere. Make the vendor buy a storefront and become part of the community like everyone else.

Really a safety hazard. Pay rent like every other merchant in Shirlington!

While it's commendable that someone is trying to earn a living, the playing field should be the same for all of us. Perhaps at a minimum, this business should have to follow the rules of food trucks and move after a period of time.

Parking is difficult as it is and to see a truck taking up several spots is bothersome. If the truck owner wants to sell her clothes in Shirlington Village I suggest she gets a lease and opens a store.

Unfair advantage to people breaking the law.

Stop littering your vehicle in Shirlington taking up spaces for potential guests of Shirlington!

It's violates the tenants rights. Either pay rent or get out. Stop taking parking spots for patrons of the village
