A lot of European cities could claim these different looks (without the temp World's Fair structures). Rome built their embankment of the Tiber around this time. London had done something similar with the Thames a few decades prior.

I honestly had no idea the Eiffel Tower was that old. Anyone know when was it built and/or its original purpose.

The accepted narrative is it was built in 1887 as a temporary structure to promote France's industrial prowess and commemorate the French Revolution.

In the coming series of threads other cities will be discussed.

He went to Paris
Looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so

He was impressive
Young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own
But the warm summer breezes
The French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
His summers and winters
Scattered like splinters And four to five years slipped away

That's what happens when you are overran and don't even realize it.

Why are whites so scared of other races? Funny how whites come over here and trick and steal the land from the natives but now they get butt hurt when others just want to live around them.

If the “others” wanted to actually “just want to live around them” without enforcing Sharia Law on everyone then maybe your plan would work.

It doesn’t.

Wahibism doesn’t play well with others.

It’s not Lutherans and Episcopalians.

Only the OT can take a thread about one of the most timeless, beautiful cities in the world and make it about New Orleans, Muslims, black people, and whatever the hell else triggers you baws.
