    Theres a restaurant in Paris, that my Hubby and I ate at, that had an interesting history. It's a mirrored room, with gold cherubs on the walls. Very ornate! Back during WW2, the area was under threat from Hitler and his Nazis, so the owner closed up the walls, so it would be untouched. It worked, but unfortunately the owner, and everyone that lived in that area, didnt survive. No one knew about it, till years later. The new owners were renovating, removed a wall, and found the room intact. Like a buried treasure!!

    My favorite "secret" about the Statue of Liberty is how Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi modeled the face of the statue after his mom. It's like the ultimate gift to a mother. Even though she dead and gone she is forever immortalized as the face of a symbol of America with millions coming to admire her magnificence. Can't top that.

      @@keizy4923 No, or at least I don't see how. She has almost zero features of a woman of color. I mean, even her nose is roman, which fits since her mother's nose was also roman. I heard this rumor before, but I'm almost willing to bet it started when she was oxidizing. Considering she has a crown, torch, and stone tablet shielding her face and arms from rain, I'm guessing those parts oxidized slower, thus making them look brown longer; therefore, she was thought of as a woman of color for a time.

    1:55 There is something like this at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone.
    The Inn is a iron framed building (The structural iron beams are clad in wood, giving the illusion it is wood framed) with a very high lobby. High above there is a tree house where a band used to play but because of damage suffered from an Earthquake in the 1950's the upper floors are not accusable to the public.
    However twice each day a bellhop climbs to the roof of the hotel to raise the flags in the morning and take them down in the evening.
    If you ask nicely at the front desk you may get an invitation from the bellhop to climb to the roof with him/her.
    The view is breathtaking and it is usually timed so Old Faithful erupts while you are up there.
    Just remember, this is a first come fist served deal. Only one small group is allowed to do this at a time, and they only do it twice each day, then only if the weather doesn't make the trip unsafe. The bellhop is under no obligation to invite anyone up, and they can de-invite you for any reason, so be polite. You are not entitled to do this. Also, there is no disabled access. If you can't climb a ladder you can't get onto the roof.
    You will be asked to help fold the flags, but it's well worth it to get that view.

    The tiny police station in Trafalgar Square reminds me of my ex's uncle. According to my ex, in the 1940's, Tarzan Bracken was the only police officer in a tiny town in northern Florida, near Florala, Alabama. There was no real police station, and the police officer would sit in his squad car next to the town's only phone booth and await emergency calls. I guess his "police station" was the size of a parking spot and a phone booth.

    Two other monuments: 1- The Capitol Building in Washington DC.
    There's that empty space beneath it that was supposed to George Washington's tomb. Thank goodness his descendants honored his last wish to be buried on the grounds of Mount Vernon.
    #2-Lincoln's Tomb- Springfield, Illinois. This, actually, rates its own segment. Before all that concrete was poured on it to deter grave robbers, his casket was open one last time. Lincoln's body was in remarkably good shape due to all the formaldehyde used while it was being transported from Washington D.C, to Springfield, and, made various stops on the way(at each stop, his body was injected with formaldehyde to help preserve it).
    I don't believe there's any big secret with the tomb,but, I thought I would mention it in passing.✌✌✌✌

    The B-roll at 16:03 is the Oregon State capitol in Salem. The capitol has robotic cameras set up on the House and Senate floors and in most of the public hearing rooms. They are all operated from a master control room down in the basement. The main idea is that the media techs film important events and make the footage available to the media networks to keep the number of reporters and/ or camera operators down so they don't cause a distraction. They even have a three camera mobile unit that can be set up in under 5 min and operated by one person. I worked for the Oregon Legislative Media dept. about 20 years ago.

    Please note that the torch of Lady Liberty was NEVER open to the general public. The access through the arm is a tricky ladder and the space on the torch would only allow a small number of people to stand there at one time. Access was limited to those with enough influence / importance to warrant it. After the Black Tom Island explosion caused stress damage to the arm, it was also found to have been built a bit out of true.

I was told it's closed off because the steel frame core couldn't continue to long term hold the stress/weight of all the tourists going up there in groups at a time. There's not much steel up there and you can feel it moving in the wind during the climb. It's closed due to policy, not blast damage.

    I've been to Mount Rushmore and the empire state building...and drove by grand central Station. I've only seen the statue of liberty from the empire state building. There is a similar christ statue in eureka springs, AR.

    What your about to read is true! Did you know before Mt. Rushmore was sculpted it was unprecedented !
