the ugly ones

Alright, we did favorite, but not least favorite. your top 10 least favorite buildings the city has!

10.) Presidential Towers - decent designs, but too many goddamned towers! 5 of bland towers. one is enough

9.) City Place - looks like something out of the suburbs, yeesh.

8.) Gateway Center III - bland, just a cookie cutter box

7.) Unitrin Building - not a bad design, but when you walk down the river, you see Wrigley, Tribune, Mather Tower, Jewelers Building, IBM Building, Marina Cities, and then you see the Unitrin Building. how the hell did that get there?

6.) McClurg Court Center A and B, throw in the Holiday Inn Chicago City Centre - ugly. McClurg Court is the ugliest complex we have. ugh.

5.) Hyatt Regency Chicago - I love the Illinois Center to death. A great mix of modern, internationalist, and postmodern. then you get to the hyatt which is like hair in a soup. its an eyesore.

4.) Hyatt Regency McCormick Place - one word, 1998. terrible. this thing was built in the 90s?!?

3.) Grand Plaza - god, i hate these. theyre so cheesy, like the park tower, but worse. the colors, the shape, and the SPIRE!

2.) AT&T 10 South Canal - embarassing, one of the worst designs I've seen

1.) Apparel Center - no explanation.

thats all i can think of now, ill try to provide a more in dept list in the future.>
