Apparently local officials want to spend $18 million to build a miniature Arc de Triomphe in downtown Atlanta. While the Fat Asian Baby is all in favor of absurd copies of national monuments more traditionally associated with other countries (ie: ViaGina and I had a lovely time on our pilgrimage to Nashville's concrete Parthenon), I can't help but wonder why, if Atlantans are so interested in public art of their own, why they don't just commission pieces of public art from like local artists or something...you know, perhaps something innovative and original that isn't already an overused icon of another country.
