Just spotted the local Palermo mag. suggesting the rumors that Palermo zoo will moving to Villa Soldati grounds end of this year. That's 123 years potentially wiped off the map in favor of 4 constructionists competing for the prime real estate.
Ok so the more cynical among you will say, so what it's just a zoo and Ive seen far better zoos in (replace with country of choice) but as a parent of 2 small kids we have visited this zoo at least twice a year for the last 7 years with hoards of visitors, had birthday parties there and quite simply like all our friends, local and international, find it an enchanting place precisely because of the mix of new customer focused services mixed with old world buildings like the elephant, selva enclosure etc.
If you see Filmus,Macri, Solanas campaigners in your area next week ask them what's the score with the zoo..I surely will!
