We've all seen 'em -
those buildings where you just shake your head and wonder what the
builder was thinking. Places that are so ugly or boxy or just plain
strange that you get a shiver in your spine just trying to figure out
what the problem is. Well I collect pictures of those kinds
of places - just like weird
foods and road
signs and toilets
- so here, for your weekend entertainment, are a few classics I put
together for you. Enjoy.
Some
homes are just the victim of poor planning. One guy working outside -
one guy working inside, both drinking heavily - well you get the
picture.
For
some reason windows seem to be particularly troublesome. It's the whole
thing about lining them up vertically and then horizontally and it's
easy to forget the square part.
Doors can be just as much of a problem. One guy working inside, another working outside - plans are a little hazy. But hey, at least they're honest - if you're not handicapped before the fire you sure will be afterward.
Another
planning casualty. Which came first - the streetlight or the building?
Those crazy Europeans. On the positive side, it does double duty as a
fire escape for the first two floors - that's assuming you don't just
fall off the edge of the balcony. Nice. 
Quality
College Housing indeed. Getting that liberal arts grad used to all the
finer things in life they'll be able to afford. Would you like fries
with that?
This
was Dorothy's neighbors house. As you may know, Dorothy landed softly
on the Wicked Witch of the East and she and her little dog Toto found
the Wizard and got back home safely. They made a documentary about
that. Dorothy's neighbor, on the other hand... Well, it's not a pretty
story and there's several good reasons they didn't make this into a
children's classic. 
What?
You don't see the problem here? That little porthole window is not
spaced equidistant between the first and second floor. It throws off
the symmetry of the whole building. Have a great weekend Rainers. Keep the positive thoughts flowing. The market is turning.
