Title: Vancouver building eye sores that you want gone
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 03 08 10:23
The Sun did an article about Vancouver eye sores since the city is tearing down the pier at Jericho.

The readers replied they wanted Gone!:
'How about the downtown toilet bowl, the once Eaton's, now Sears building?'
- totally agree with this one

-'I say we demolish the Shangri-La complex. It appears like a gargantuan middle digit sticking out of the centre the city.'

 Terry Fox arch at BC Place
BC Place itself
the Dal Grauer substation if BC Hydro can't pony up the cash to restore it
Identi-Kit glass towers on the north shore of False Creek
the painted bears and orcas (and this year, eagles) that infest downtown
The entire city of Surrey (minus SFU)
the dollar stores on Fraser Street
any building that has a name ending in "Pointe"
whatever's left of the Plaza of Nations, including the casino
those two car sculptures outside the art gallery
every empty building between Cambie and Gore on Hastings
lowrise pants and shirtless men downtown
Vancouver specials
overgrown front yards and chain-link fences
that empty parking lot and cesspool under the Georgia viaduct
the weeds choking Beaver Lake in Stanley Park
gigantic white yachts with satellite domes and helicopter pads
flip-flops

I agree [a href="index.php?PHPSESSID=461f4c0b663f3f5b65fe2a4a1c6338aa&action=profile;u=80" title="View the profile of Lil Me"]Lil Me[/a], that building is really creepy inside and strange ( a friend once rented there ) and earlier this year a girl was murdered there and left outside..

I don't care what they build as long as they don't build something like the Music Project in Seattle. Talk about an eyesore.

Yeah that is pretty out there goofy.

Their Library is out there too, looks like a tool box you'd see in a back of a truck.

One mans art is another's toilet bowl.

  To each their own. Im sure theres many things that people on here would think is ugly and hate, that I would think is beautiful.

  Function over form.
