POMPANO BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Two developers want to bring a little of Paris to Pompano Beach, Florida.
They've submitted plans to build two oceanside replicas of the Eiffel Tower.
But the idea isn't getting a warm reception.
The one-point-two (B) billion-dollar towers would hold restaurants, condominiums, a hotel and parking garages.
At one-thousand feet high, they would be slightly taller than the original, which stands at 984 feet.
The developers have submitted their plans to the city manager's office and city commissioners have been briefed.
But most doubt the replicas will ever be built.
