I understand that Penn "contributed" over a million dollars to get La Terrasse going again. But in the meantime it's trying to muscle an ordinance through City Council to get rid of most of the food truck/carts on campus. It has a lot of people very angry here. What it indicates is that Penn wants to encourage high-profile dining but for people who can't afford places like La Terrasse, they're saying "Screw you!"
