While I’m familiar with the east coast and have visited some older structures and monuments there, it still leaves me in awe. I’m from the new new world so even our historic buildings are maybe a century and a half in age. Maybe. Indigenous structures didn’t survive for the most part.
What’s also fascinating is how people can be incredibly blasé about a 500 year old building they drive past on their way to work every day. Incredible.
I admit, it’s pretty cool to do things like walk down the street in London and look down at a manhole cover and see that it has the date imprinted on it and has been there since the start of the industrial revolution.
