of squares and scribbles * 
¿Usted conoce la Puerta del Sol o la Plaza Mayor de Madrid? ¿Conoce quizá la piazza Navona de Roma o la plaza Roja de Moscú? Como sea. ¿Se imagina usted alguna de estas plazas ocupada por meses por inmensa carpa de circo que impida una foto panorámica o la vista de algunos de los notables edificios that frame? Imagine the scandal!
These places are important monuments in themselves and require no additional or attractive scenery. The socket of Mexico City, the ancient main square or Plaza de la Constitution, one of the largest and most notable among those of his kind, is, at the whim of the mayor of this city, be treated as a common clearing, space "too" wide to be "wasted" (head of government have the horror vacui of the Baroque, but with less style) and decided (why not?) spend our tax dollars in a dinosaur museum to honor Darwin (so!) in an expensive white circus tent. Marcelo Ebrard like its predecessor, has a parochial view of this huge city, full of venues, stadiums, museums, theaters and others, which is understandable in the former mayor of Macuspana, but not in the "mayor cosmopolitan" than intended to be Ebrard.
What Ebrard has not thought at the racetrack, in the Cerro de la Estrella in the land expropriated as "Ford" or even on the grounds of the former refinery, to make a popular recreation site where Darwin and honor their dinos, or to put your ice pistota arbolote with Christmas or the marathon to make massive kiss ai (before influenza) or another occurrence? The few brave (which must be very brave men) who have moved to the Historical Center and will thank all those who think that our "base" is a majestic place of a big city and not a small-town square.
