Why Double Decker Buses?

You could not imagine my face when I first saw Victoria, a sexy big red Double Decker Bus sitting in the front of Jumers Chateau in Peoria, IL  ten years ago…a smile so big, I was grinning like a cheshire cat. I am originally from England, Bristol as a matter of fact, and spent my youth traveling on these great machines, from family trips to getting absolutely slushed down at the pub! Many years on I would have never guessed I would be fanatical about bloody Buses. But here I am, having owned Victoria and repurposing her into an extremely loved foodtruck.  I am now on a new quest to repurpose George’54 and set off in the sunset!

So why Double Deckers??  They are really are a great piece of history, a piece of my home country here in the US.  Love the imagination and all the stories, from imagining all the people who have ridden the bus, to and from work, down to the pub, to the city center.  Imagining  the driver, who every day had the enjoyment of driving these gorgeous beasts. A double decker bus brings a smile to young and old where ever you are..it tells a story of the good old days and is just a reminder there were simpler days before the technology boom!
