It's actually shocking the amount of destruction our city has allowed/encouraged over the decades. Watching the Tour de France we keep making fun of how little of the gorgeous little French architecture would have remained if our city was in charge. And they managed to survive two world wars and countless other conflicts. Ugh.

This was a 2-hour video presentation that played at Capitol theatre in 2017. Anyone know if it's available anywhere to view? Would be interested in watching.
All I can find is this 30-second trailer for the event:
