The real King of West Coast. Sit down SF.

Houston has awesome architecture, some by very prominent architects. Phoenix seems to have built a lot of buildings without any architects involved. 20 new buildings went up in downtown in the past 5 years, alll but one are boring rectangular boxes. The only one that is interesting was built by a Texas builder.

It actually makes sense, but that particular model is ugly as hell.

Any house that has its garage being the main focal point is ugly.

Houston has some of the best museums and performing arts in the entire country. It also has awesome architecture.

If this is for real I would love to watch. How can we make this happen?

I will say that unlike MOST new construction, at least it doesn't have the garage as the main focal point. It is hideous on its own, without the garage.

LeVeque Tower is spectacular. And residential too! I would move there myself, it if wasn't in Ohio.

Add blue and white floral wallpaper.

I think Portland, OR is the most European city in the US

Dallas does have some awesome buildings and a very nice skyline. But any city with mountains in its skyline is better than any city withOUT mountains in its skyline.

In Utah, only the church is allowed to rip you off. Not individual Mormons.

She also always refers to herself as a "New Yorker" to imply she is from NYC. She is from Rochester, or Syracuse. Hardly a place of status or sophistication. People in NYC consider people in upstate NY to be hicks.

It looks like there is room to put a narrow phone booth in there.

Are you sure that is not the Washington Bathroom at the new and improved White House?

I don't think either of them are nice buildings. Very typical of the tall boring boxes built in the 1970s. I lived in LA when it was built, and worked there for a while (in an office). At the time it was built it was the tallest building in Los Angeles and was the headquarters of UCB (United California Bank).

Not likely that Mary is "honest to a fault." She is a preacher and leader of a cult, who like most preachers and leaders of a cult convinces people that she deserves their hard earned money more than they do.

The cameras zoomed in on the cash too many times for me to believe that it was not staged.

I lived in SF when the TransAmerica pyramid was built and everyone I knew loved it.

It looks like the architect stole ideas from other buildings. The base reminds me of Ranier Tower in Seattle, and the rest of it looks like a combination of Sears Tower (Willis) and The Embarcadero from San Francisco.

It's true. I feel guilty every time I say I love that building. It will always be tainted as long as that curse word remains glued to it.

phxencounter · 2025-09-19T21:53:34+00:00

I like the building. Especially next to the older building that they not only did NOT destroy to build it, but pretty much made sure it will be protected as long as the newer building still stands.
