State Fair of Texas Picture of the Day: Oct. 5

photo by Jason Janik

Sorry to hear that the Women’s Museum at Fair Park is closing, (even if we sometimes questioned its choices).

On a positive note, Fair Park itself was given a nice distinction today, called one of the country’s great public spaces.

But what matters most, in enjoying that gem of a place — as the photo above reminds us — is being able to wander around on a gorgeous, sunny day, corn dog in hand.
