Port Town Security
I still am at a total loss to explain the purpose or presence of the trio of security vehicles parked around the 8th Street Lofts and Caffe Port Town, but here they are.
above - the two Port Town Security "police cars".
above - the weird gray rv that's marked security. It's apparently permanently parked on 8th Street, and it gets power from an extension cord run from the second floor window. It also apparently has a parking ticket.
My only crazy theory is that someone's getting ready to market this service to the Downtown BID, as soon as it becomes a property BID and the money starts rolling in. The largest item on the proposed BID budget is security, and I can imagine that might justify the expense of acquiring two new-ish police cars. It's hard to imagine that someone had these idling around, or that their sole purpose is to create some kind of "private police state" image for the 8th Street Lofts, or for the Caffe.
