Shame, Shame

Have you no shame? Is nothing sacred? Two years ago you wrote an excellent article on Strasbourg, the beautiful city in Alsace (April 24, 1988). You spoke of La Petite Francaise, the cathedral, the boat ride on the L’ille River. And, there is the European Parliament, which is worthy of a visit.

Please, sir, no more. The Route du Vin (by Jerry Hulse, Dec. 3, 1989) will become as (crowded as) the Hollywood Freeway and as popular as Disneyland. Leave us in peace, please. Wines, cheese, French bread, chocolates and our beautiful countryside may be all that is left of civilization. We’ll give you Gorby, even Paris, if you will but leave Strasbourg and the Route du Vin from your columns.
