OP just discovered that European cities are older than American cities but wasn't smart enough to realize it.

This is like 20 minutes from me in... America! First one of many that came to mind. Keep circle jerking though.

I don't get it. are we supposed to be appalled?
I like the trees, though!

A European country with a outdoor space? Id be surprised if it werent
I had dinner at a place that looked almost exactly like this in New Orleans

That cop feared for his life! So brave!
