mgbinspect Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm thinking I probably have this one in the bag, but one just never knows Click to Enlarge 37.56 KB: This Jetsons style office building is out of the sixties. Sadly, it's design has nothing to do with the perceived future at the time: Click to Enlarge 61.8 KB One web site does actually have it listed as number nine of the ten ugliest buildings in America. I've been meaning to photograph it for a long time. Today, while having a flowmaster muffler put on my Ranger to increase gas mileage, the architectural wonder was just across the parking lot from me, so I finally snapped it.

John Kogel Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 They cheaped out on the sour cream and the chives. Too bad the dented aluminum look never caught on in the automotive world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
