City to oust sausage stands

Running the highway underground is a great idea if they ever get around to making that happen.

Aujourd'hui, les kiosques à journaux meilleures sais que de belles fleurs ont une passion plus durable que d'une saucisse. Il serait impensable de ne pas avoir un visage type pour vous aider à acheter de beauté pour cette personne très spéciale.

This is yet another example of the Czech office worker's bizzare efficiency, so geniously described by Hasek in Good soldier Svejk... After cowardly approving the demolition of the 19th century house No47, the sausage stands are now the target. Apparently our councillors (Aleksandra Udzenija) find the goods available of poor quality, and want pastries, FLOWERS! and newspapers. Or maybe even more of the RUSSIAN Matryoshkas and RUSSIAN army hats... and Russain mafia...
While I appreciate the Belgrade's born Ms.Udzenija love of Azbuka, the cheap, greasy sausage actually belongs to Prague. As well as the wurst to Berlin - mine had no wrapping, no paper tissue... just a human touch. It was delicious and good for my immunity. Looks like the Berlin city councillors have more important job to do!!

Why ban Sausage stands moving forward? Why not ban them moving backwards and side to side also? I was nearly hit by one once. They need to have speed restrictions placed on them as well.

That is one of the highlights of Wen Sq, one of the reasons I look forward to going to Prague in the first place.

the stands are part of what make Prague different. You can't beat a klobasa and svarak or beer in the snow. DON'T CHANGE PRAGUE. PRAGUE IS PRAGUE BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT.It's in very real danger of just becoming a European clone city with nothing that stands out as being individual to Prague. Wenclesas Square is already like Bluewater shopping centre in the UK. Why go to Prague for a weekend when you can go to Bluewater for shops and buy Europe wide available rubbish there? Keep the sausage stands. Prague without sausage is Europe without Prague

It appears that the "real estate owners" would like to eliminate the competition and drive the people into their overpriced eateries inside. As a person that visits Prague often, I will miss the sausage stands.

While its true the sausage stands are kind of dumpy looking, I wonder what the long term vision is for Vaslavke Nameste by city hall? The trend over time seems to be gentrification, e.g. a square with very expensive, upscale shops like Starbucks, and expensive fashion designers, etc. How sterile and boring, more worshipping at the Alter of Mammon. Does Starbucks represent the Czech Republic more than the sausage stands? Yes, maybe it does in this day and age where everything--everything is sacrificed for corporate profits and the marketplace. Like Vienna and Dresden, Prague's main square will become a soulless, expensive row of hi-end fashion and franchise shops. Finally, why not get rid of some of those obnoxious souvenir shops that are booming crap music at deafening volume right in the center of the square? They're far worse than the sausage shops.

The sausage stands are one of the first memories I have of Prague. These businesses add a perspective that make the city unique and fun. I believe they may decide to unify the stands and eliminate the sale of liquor, but it will be a sad day if they remove the sausage stands. Of course many of the businesses along the square object to the stands: These businesses sell food items and don't want the competition. There is no competition between the restaurants and the sausage stands because they serve a different clientele. Keep the kiosks!

We must regulate everything out of existence so a hand full of knuckle heads can feel good about themselves . The next thing we will only allow the masses to stay in the square for 17 1/2 minutes we don't want to use up all the fresh air at once . now don't we all feeeeel gooood.

Such a shame. One of the nice things about Prague is knowing that you can get a beer and a sausage at any time of day or night from one of these kiosks.

I, as a regular visitor to Prague, have no idea why these kiosk should be removed. They positively contribute to the experience if visiting the Czech Republic.

dumplings r what makes us czechs:))) i personally think they look horrendous, not exactly sure about the hygiene either. u always get loads of alkies standing by honking of fags and booze. nothing against fast food but this really wouldnt be my choice.

Aren't sausages part of what makes you a Czech? How can they dream of removing them? It seems to me the plans might make Wenceslas Square prettier, but it'll be like any other square in any other city.
