Thanks to Virtual Tourist for bringing out a list (ye gods, another list, ha ha) that this time focuses on one of the most notorious cultural reflections of modern city life, Ugly Buildings...
From Morris A. Mechanic Theater; Baltimore, Maryland, that they describe as "Looking at the grim, impersonal façade of this once-thriving theater, it’s hard to believe its stage once hosted the likes of Katherine Hepburn and George C. Scott. Although it would be ugly without them, the windows boarded up with wood certainly don’t help matters. Its doors now closed, the structure still incites debate among locals, many of whom feel the final curtain should have come down on this building long ago," to Ryugyong Hotel; Pyongyang, North Korea said to be "Riddled with issues that range from lack of money to poor construction to rumored collapse, this still unfinished nightmare has been under some form of construction for over 20 years. Started in 1987, construction was halted a few years later and left untouched until fairly recently."
But are these monstrosities really so bad? Or are they set to be the "must see" cultural icons of the future?
