So the folks at Viad/Brewster celebrate their vision that gilding our mountain parks lilies with glass walkways will “put people in a unique sense of place ...”
Really? I found that vision so perversely disgusting that I needed to leave the country for opening day to avoid becoming violently ill. Visiting Rome, I try to imagine trying to “connect people ... In a way they have not been able to do” in the Imperial Forum by stretching an elevated glass gimmick from the Arch of Titus to the Temple of Vesta.
There probably is not a single visitor to Rome (ever) who would find that a good idea. Not even Alaric and his pillaging Visigoths. But Visigoths were not Viads. Porca miseria!
