LA Abandons $11 Billion Airport Modernization Plan

January 20, 2006| By:Mary Winston Nicklin

Charles de Gaulle

Can they send the funds to Paris Charles de Gaulle instead? The airport is the pits. I'm sure when it was constructed in the 70's, it was considered the epitome of cool. A space age vision of the future. Escalators and moving walkways ascending and descending hills through the maze of flashing white lights, crisscrossing the vast circular interior through plastic tubular structures. (The French tell me it resembles-- um-- camembert cheese.) Good luck trying to find the shuttle to the TGV. (It would require a map and pages of carefully detailed instructions.)
