75% of Florida is MEGA ugly architecture, or maybe I should say Miami. Because Miami tops it with OOGLY!!!
All these disgusting skyscraper condos(in every shape and variation), that are 70% vacant.

I couldn't believe there were actually Victorian homes in Florida,..one would have to search every city and town thoroughly, ..since they elusive, hidden between mossy oaks, and overgrown vines.

I have to agree that the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse. It is completely out of scale for the space and imposing to walk past.

I remember the first time I saw Nelson Rockefeller Plaza, Albany, New York. [My then-fiance had a job in Schenectady, and I came up from NYC to the Albany bus station every other week for a couple of years]

You got a picture of it with, at least, green trees in front. Much of the year in "Smallbany" (no offense, FranIAm, if you're around! *g*), these are lacking.

I was dumbstruck by the ugliness. It's straight out of a dystopian nightmare! |-0

Poor Nelson.
