[txt] Venice: A city without cars is a marvelous thing - www.theglobeandmail.com
Venice, in short, needs a new occupation. While tourism will always be the mainstay, there is no reason other than lack of political will and imagination why Venice can't save itself from watery Disneyland status. If I were mayor of Venice, I would be begging a company like Microsoft, Nokia, Research in Motion or Alcatel-Lucent to open a software-design campus in an abandoned palace and watch the neighbourhood come alive and the mask shops disappear.
