Fremont Street Tries To Be As Big As The Las Vegas Strip
As you can see, Fremont street today is actually more of a pedestrian mall and less of a walkway. There are various attractions if you are brave and want to venture off the Strip.
The light and sound show have attracted visitors to the old street. The Golden Nugget was revamped but the barrel vault canopy is what makes most visitors stop and stare. This enormous cave of wonders swallows up anyone that enters in a bright and noisy world of delight.
Dresden Frauenkirche Reconstruction
Dresden citizens tried to salvage the pieces of the Frauenkirche, at the end of World War 2. The communist regime did not want to rebuild and the plan was to turn the site into a parking lot!
Thanks to public sentiment and pressure, it was declared a memorial in 1966. Reconstruction was completed in 2005, and the annual neo-Nazi celebration of its destruction is always blocked by a human chain. It is sad that such a beautiful monument should be plagued by so much political violence.
