Spanish Tacos Invade Western Pennsylvania

The amusement park Kennywood (it’s near Pittsburgh) is being sold to a Spanish company that also manages a bunch of amusement and water parks across the U.S. and Europe.

A spokeswoman, however, wanted to assuage any fears the public had and gave this statement:

“The park’s going to continue to be what it is, what we all love. We don’t expect to see any changes. We don’t think it’s going to become a giant taco stand.”

Tacos are, of course, Mexican. The park is actually going to be turned into a bullfighting arena.

    Oh those Western Pennsylvanians. They are so provincial. A mistake of that sort would have never happened in Philly!

    In any case I think they should convert it into the world’s biggest tapas bar!

    I’m fairly sure here most people thinks tacos originated in Taco Bell.

    i was going to say something insightful about provincial-ness but i got distracted by the taco bell reference.
