The British have a long history of lighting beacons to warn of imminent invasion so it's actually quite apt.

I guess next you Europeans will want to put some sort of modern sculpture in front of the Louvre....oh wait....
Yeah, I don't like that one either.
You all have REAL history. Here in the US, we go back maybe 300 years. You all have thousands of years of history and should be preserving the character of some of the oldest places. Save the more modern designs for places without so much history.
The truth is, I have never had the opportunity to actually visit a lot of the European cities I would like to. I usually just get stuck in airports or nearby hotels for meetings and then a quick flight back. I don't want it all to be altered before I get the chance to take in the history at my leisure
