Usually when Oregon is mentioned in travel articles, I'm proud to advertise it, because usually they are telling people how great and beautiful Oregon is. But, this article wasn't so nice! Yes, Portland, Oregon, was number four on this list along with another building in Seattle.
So, what was this list? It was a list of the World's Ugliest Buildings! OUCH! Now, this isn't some off beat place either. It isn't some building built in the corner of Portland where no one would ever see it, oh no. This is the Portland Building, the building where most of the Portland City staff work out of and it was only built about 20 years ago. It is right smack in the middle of Portland on a major street.
So, as we bow our heads, here in Oregon, for having one of the ugliest buildings in the world, I'm going to make it a positive. Come visit our great state, see all the other most beautiful spots we have and just turn your head when you drive by the Portland building and forget that we made that list. (We really are a great place to visit and live!)
