Architectural Delight: Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France.
Before Arc de Triomphe became one of the world’s most famous monuments, Paris nearly built something completely different in its place: a gigantic hollow elephant. An 18th-century architect imagined a three-story elephant with rooms inside and water spraying from its trunk like a fountain. Instead, Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the Arc de Triomphe in 1806 to celebrate French military victories.
But even Napoleon never saw it finished. Construction dragged on for nearly 30 years, so for his 1810 wedding procession, workers built a full-size wooden replica just so he could pass beneath it. The monument’s dramatic history continued long after: in 1919, a fearless French pilot flew a biplane straight through the arch.
The monument also serves as a memorial site, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and an eternal flame burning beneath the arch and today, military parades still march around the monument out of respect.

“In his pursuit to remake the green spaces, he is attempting to wrest control from the National Links Trust, a non-profit with a 50-year lease to operate, restore & maintain the affordability of East Potomac Golf Links, Rock Creek and Langston Golf Course. Earlier in 2025, the admin ordered the group to take dirt resulting from the demolition of the East Wing of the WH or risk defaulting on its lease with the govt."

Ron Filipkowski quotes the Independent:
“Trump has set his sights on his next renovation project: DC’s golf courses. The president, who frequently spends weekends on the fairways at his various properties, is seeking to redevelop the 3 public golf courses in the nation’s capital.” Trump: 'If we do them, we’ll do it really beautifully.'”

"'You could say, Jefferson, Washington, everything, ‘cause they’re all right there, and it’s something that is so special. It will be like the one in Paris, but to be honest with you, it blows it away, blows it away in every way.'
In The Guardian last week, Judith Levine noted that Trump is erasing the face of a federal government that served the American people, replacing it with his own."
