I agree. I've tried to post my own pics, or at least pics of where I was. But sometimes, well.... you just gotta get creative.

You want to build a piece of shit like that - build it out in Downsview somewhere. It's offensive to look at.
Libenskind must be laughing his ass off that the fools in Toronto bought into it.

what I really don't like about the structure is that the "front door" is almost impossible to locate. The old front door on Queen's Park Circle was almost majestic and welcomed you to enter the building while at the same time, humbling all who approached.
This newly configured entrance is hidden at the base of the crystal whith no heraldic conventions. Even the doors themselves are somewhat cryptic, with handles that have to be labled to be found.
Otherwise, I like the structure itself, even the way that it does the "Fortress of Solitude" thing with the old ROM, but that may just be my geology background. What I like the most is the controversy that it has engendered!
