Wanna Go Tight On Those Snapshots
-
Some of the most famous tourist landmarks in the world evoke certain images in your mind, but the reality is sometimes different, because some of those places are close to less attractive things, with a key example being the Pyramids, which are surrounded by schlocky development including a Pizza Hut. This article lists more, but I bet you can come up with some, too. Everyone's gone to a famous place and come away disappointed. I kinda think of our own Hollywood sign as one of those; you imagine it looming majestically over a glittering show business paradise, but it's, y'know, just a sign, and it looms over the 101 freeway and a bunch of homes and nondescript buildings....
