The Holiday Inn in Beirut is striking in its contrast to the modern developments around it, and to me, looks like a massive middle finger to Solidere:<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/49440-3-188x250.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  Photo credit: Mira Dandan<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <B><Big><Big>8.

While this precious village home (again, with the most perfect arched windows) hides away in a back street in Bteghrine, Upper Maten:<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/49440-1-250x188.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  Photo credit: Mira Dandan<br \/>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <big>Amongst all the chaos and crap this country is facing, these destroyed old buildings should be a powerful reminder of what Lebanon once was and a symbol of its potential. These little reminders exist in almost every corner of the country and should serve as a push towards optimism so that we can unite and create an even better Lebanon for us, and for future generations. Easier said than done, I know, but if we leave it to our politicians, history has proven that we\u2019ll get absolutely nowhere!<\/big>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
