Social distancing done right. Paris, of course.

1. Love it!

Dem bears ain't cheap but they are well worth it.

[ChazII]

2. Are they cleaning the bears and if so

how often? I ask because when my son was a child back in the 80's CHLA and CHOC did not allow stuffed animals or stuffeeees (spell check keeps correcting the spelling) because this kind carried or retained germs. It had to be the cloth type of animal even though that was stuffed.

Or I am falling for a practical joke?

Edited to add: After doing a Google search on stuffed bears in Paris cafes I found an article. Here is a paragraph from the article:

The deal is joy. The simple, unfettered joy that comes from bringing people together with a gesture that speaks to every one of our childhoods. In a city that often takes itself too seriously, Philippe has created an entirely new landscape, one mapped out with levity, and a kindness of spirit.

3. I wonder would this would look like

in any of our cities.

[Auggie]

4. In the U.S. they'd be stolen immediately

[ChazII]

5. Sad

but I think you are right.

[Dr. Strange]

6. At last, Paris recognizes the right to bear arms!
