I dunno. I don't know if this is an advertisement, an endorsement, a condemnation or some sort of performance art, but here is someone dressed up as a homemade Happy Meal in front of Santo Domingo. I know, I know, magic surrealism, no doubt.
Come to think of it, Oaxaca has only two McDonald's, one near the ballpark and the other near Plaza del Valle.
It's not like there isn't some history. (from the
ISLR in 2006)
Officials of Oaxaca, Mexico, have turned down an application by
McDonald’s to open an outlet in a 500-year-old plaza at the center of
town. "There are values that we have to preserve, such as our traditions
and culture," city leader Gabino Cue Monteagudo said. A local ordinance
allows local officials to reject development projects that endanger the
city’s cultural heritage.
As we reported in the last issue of this newsletter, residents
organized a spirited campaign against the global fast-food chain that
including gathering more than 10,000 signatures and handing out free
tamales in the plaza.
And this from the
Washington Post in 2006
Four youths wearing masks tossed gasoline bombs at a McDonald's
restaurant in the conflict-torn city of Oaxaca on Sunday, damaging the
windows, seats and play area, police said.
Eat wisely, mis amig@s.
