Brodidly AB: Bushwick!! What can I say? It can be an interesting place to live in and it can be a nightmare. To all those who are contemplating moving to Bushwick, on the serious tip you...... cat: if there really is an artist out there, they should put their work to canvas and get paid. this is just an unsighlty , illegal,
not cool thing. its defacing and ugly. if you really...... The Hapless Hobo: By the way, let me take this opportunity to write a little blurb about my opinions on graffiti...

Chris : First of all Toronto is hated on by all Canadians outside of the Golden Horse Shoe. One of the main reasons why is,....... the Toronto Maple Losers!!!!!!!!. It's a hockey country and the leafs used...... surviving: All of the post I"ve been reading has some kind of validity to the experience and surviving in hutch.

I am inspired by your photo and another one by Evil Gentleman to...... riiiiiight: i was born and raised in bk. i just checked out a new "luxury condo" developement out there a whim (when i was told my rent was being jacked up another 300 bucks). ...... does it matter?: If you view Winnipeg from the south, so that Osborne Village is to your left and Fort Garry Plaza is to your right, you can see Winnipeg from a much more complimentary angle. Unfortunately, most...... webmd: I think the fact that it stands by itself, is shuttered up and clearly not in use (or much use) its what is most ugly about it. And yet, not far is that really cool,...... From Newfoundland: I grew up in Sussex, and returned home this summer after several years away. I rather liked the murals, and think Sussex is demonstrating more energy and creativity than scores of other Maritime communities. There...... saltbake: I´m afraid to say that this town is the worst place I´ve ever lived. I grew up in a really small town in South Dakota, and I can say that Hutchinson does not even have...... Sandinista: Yea I think edmonton should be higher on this list but its always so poorly photographed. I agree calgary's is better in fact probably the second best but not that much better than edmonton. I...... JG: You're absolutely correct about the visual compression--but I think the larger issue remains the same: the road widening, signage, etc. is just plain ugly. And I say this as someone who loves Tallahassee.
If more...... Hutch1: To the original poster of the photos.
You took photos of only the worst of the town. What state has a year round State Fair? The old hospital is not across from a highway. I do...... realworldgirl9: You know, the reason our entire country is in a shit hole right now is because of the lousy attitudes of people today. I have lived in many places in my life, for instance:...... Lisboner: Hi! I'm an artist too. I've conceived a masterpiece which consists of 2500 Lisbon graffiters, painted with bright colors, hanging from the Tagus Bridge. That would be my way of honouring all this lovely kids......

I used to think the building was really ugly but It's really growing...... aer: What's happening in Seattle right now is bloody awful. You can see 10 cranes

Jamie: This whole issue of intellectual property rights in relation to images on the web is a sore point indeed. The sad truth of the matter is that if yo're going to make good photos available...... Mat: I'm form repentigny, and yeah it can be a great place if you stay in the west side of the town. The east side is more like a big wal mart than a town: Artificial,...... jack: ##[Ed: this comment was posted as a separate article. i removed the article and appended the comment here. please try to keep your comments confined to the relevant article.]##
no photos, sorry folks. i......

EvilGentleman: Yeah, I gotta admit, I've done Vegas myself, once upon a time. Beautiful place, ugly place, boring place, exciting place, all in one. But I wonder, if all the water lying about everywhere winds up...... Sirhcbre: This is the only one of this sort. Most of the entrances to the Metro here are pretty ugly kiosks. They're usually very utilitarian looking concrete bunkers that take up half a block.......

Canadian-Canadian: Wow. There are TONS of vacant apartments in Montreal at low-low rents. Half of NDG is immigrants on welfare already. There was no need to spend taxpayer dollars on this. And i'm sure in...... dave: I actually live in the ugly '80s building. This is the view looking east2 downtown from the roof. The area becomes the city of Westmount in a few blocks. Which is quite posh and Pleasantville-ish....... simdave28: LOl, I can't beleive the guy thinks the corner of Decarie and Sherbrooke is interested. An esso, a kfc, a shell and an ugly 80s apartment tower. There are some WAY more interesting areas in...... aer suzuki: well at least future archaeologists & anthropologists will know that we were a proud people, too proud to pick up after ourselves, apparently. or rather not proud enough...or maybe the trash will be perceived as...... Chris Erb: This building is actually quite nice to Fredericton standards. Even though Fredericton is one of the richest places in Atlantic Canada, it's still quite poor compared to much of the rest of Canada. ...... wewhonotasothers: I know this guy personally he is up in New York now... he left baltimore last year some time. I hung out with him almost everyday at the square where my friends hung out....... Chris Erb: I forgot to mention that this is also one of the ugliest buildings in the city. Ignoring the mystery design, this very plane wall with the ugly roof line is what faces the street...... Chris Erb: Thanks EG.
I checked on Emporis and pic #5 is indeed the tallest building in Montreal. it's called Le 1250 Boulevard René-Lévesque (why can't they give these buildings actual names?) and at 226 metres tall...... anon (cpe-72-134-234-209.hawaii.res.rr.com): It's true. Animal cruelty does indeed create serial killers. Just look at the ALF (or just about any of the "concerned, caring activists" that've posted at this point) - they presume cruelty, so...... Peter: nice! ugly, "modern" cement buildings... this one looks frighteningly similar to the building my office is in.... EvilGentleman: I dunno... If I caught one of these things, I think I would definitely never fish again! This out-uglies the ugly fish, for sure.... Maria: I have to agree - anyone can make big fat letters and call it art - I've seen really good modern art, and this is not art - it's big fat sprayed-on letters - that's...... To Driver's Brother! Doing Damage Control.: I'm sure other people have said this before me, but really should your brother be glad it wasn't worse! He could have been seriously injured. Lock your car doors! If it had...... Monster: so stupid, I'm talking about that good looking blonde in the white vest dating the woman basher. There are unreasonable people everywhere in the world and you have a choice... to react emotionally or...... smoker: Well, one new thing Ive learned from this thread is how annoyed some people apparently get when cigarette butts are thrown on the street. Not sure why I had previously considered to be fairly...... Joe: to comment on "driver"'s post :
"hello my name is alex solski and i just wanna say that i had the reaction that i did simply because this ugly dyke threw the litter right in my...... DRIVER: hello my name is alex solski and i just wanna say that i had the reaction that i did simply because this ugly dyke threw the litter right in my girlfriends beautiful face.and i...... No Seriously you must be the guy!: Wow this guy screwed up. If he was right or wrong it doesn't matter anymore there is going to be some major backlash to his out right loss of control.
If she has done this...... Simon: Leah, you did what I think alot of us would love to do. It drives me nuts seeing people throwing their garbage out the window. They might as well walk into my house and dump...... Simon: Leah, you did what I think alot of us would love to do. It drives me nuts seeing people throwing their garbage out the window.
