A successful transplant of the Belgian Village beside superhighways

A SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANT THE STRIKING THING about today's Scrapbook foto is the contrast between the Old-World Begium Village and the web of up-to-the-minute superhighways bordering the fairgrounds. The village appears to have been picked up in Belgium and set down here intact - which is close to the truth. Inside is a gilittering array of shops, artisans at work, exhibits, amusements and food-and-drink spots - including several large restaurants. And there's even one outside the walls (foreground).

Old houses and cobbled streets in the Belgian Village

WITH "OLD" HOUSES and narrow, cobbled streets, canals and bridges, alfresco stands and musicians, Belgian Village makes the visitor feel he's really in the old country. It's Rathskeller is the Fair's largest restaurant.
