Interesting shape, but bland.

@ rayman

Homer doesn't live in Springfield, Illinois because they visited Capitol City in numerous episodes, which is the capital of their unknown state.

Certainly looks unique, but old and shabby too.

What city is this in? The city name should be added to the thread title.

Makes me want to puke. This is terribly outdated, now if the facade was an all glass curtain it may get a 6-7/10.
