Gatlinburg, London, Sister Cities

Prince Charles , warned that historic sites like the Tower of London have been “vandalized” by high-rise construction that threatens to ruin the character of the capital.

The heir to the British throne, who spoke at a conference on city planning, argued that poor planning could damage the integrity of Britain ’s historical areas, particularly criticizing tall buildings that dwarf smaller structures.

“We seem to be determined to vandalize these few remaining sites which retain the kind of human scale and timeless character that so attract people to them and which increase in value as time goes by,” Charles said at St. James’ Palace.

Change “ Tower of London ” to Mountain View Hotel” or “Greystone Hotel” or “Gatlinburg Inn” and change “ Britain ” to “Gatlinburg”, and “high-rise construction and tall buildings”, to “cabins, cabins, cabins,” and change “St James Palace” to “ Gatlinburg City Hall ” and it kind of hits home, don’t you think?

It appears Gatlinburg is suffering from an international problem.
