Riad Fes is the latest place to hang out in Fez, as Helen Ranger discovers ...The beautiful Riad Fes has a great bar in its new section around the lovely decorative pool. The marble floor and the columns are decorated in dark brown zellij, there are olives trees, subdued lighting, carved plaster modeled after the Alhambra in Granada and the atmosphere has a zen-like calm. The manager, Roumanian Cezarina Jaussoin, says that recently there's been a younger crowd coming in for a drink before dinner, and a large spattering of local expats. She decided it would be good to have music with a DJ, so in stepped Louis da Fez.
Louis is a professional DJ and brought along his twin desks and all his equipment. Tucked away in a corner behind the bar, he gets the turntables spinning between 7pm and 8.30pm on Thursdays and Saturdays, conjuring up a great atmosphere with some laid-back music. Cezarina hopes the guests will start dancing ...

I am in the same class as The Girl in the Crosswalk, and am working on the same assignment. Knowing the city as you do, what do you feel is the essential question that needs to be answered in any examination of Fez?
I'd say embracing the modern while retaining the ancient; not losing the culture to globalisation. The Travel Writing article above makes a good contribution to this question.
