Commerce and Parks, Together At Last

Not that Quick Hamburger is the finest example of French cuisine out there, but in terms of my continuing heterodox view of park policy I thought it was interesting that fast food outlets are integrated into the plan of Parc de La Villette along with museums and other highbrow cultural institutions:

It’s a little bit tacky, but at the end of the day I think it’s a good idea. Parks are for people, and people need to eat.
