HPD cracks down on rush hour french fry street marketers

The Chronicle's Ken Hoffman noticed that HPD managed quickly to clear the road of people who were obstructing traffic in the Galleria area:

Remember when I wrote about Bistro Moderne at the Hotel Derek giving away free french fries to motorists stuck in traffic at the corner of Westheimer and Loop 610 at Friday rush hour?
I predicted it wouldn't last long. While the fries were freshly made and quite fantastic, I saw a bad moon risin' — traffic jams and road rage and french fries don't mix.

It lasted two weeks. The cops told them to knock it off.

It's too bad that HPD can't also efficiently rid the streets of vagrant beggars, protesting janitors, and Chronicle vendors, all nuisances that obstruct traffic without even offering frustrated motorists tasty food!
