I like the design. The only bad thing is the barf brown of the building.

Kitsch is popular these days, have you ever heard of Kesha or Twilight?

I can understand you thinking it's overrated, but ugliest in NYC? I love the Flatiron Building!! What about the Verizon Tower?

i don't know. i just think its ugly and weird looking. the verizon tower isn't far from it but to be honest i never really take notice of it. maybe i'm the only one who feels this way about the flatiron.

The Flatiron building is very old, so its not going to look that good.

Houston's ugliest skyscraper is One Shell Plaza. Just a white box with a big spire and lots of square windows. Bor-ing!

Its easily the riverside building in Minneapolis for me, I felt unsafe just driving by it, looks like it should be in a 3rd world country.

it feels like a third world country on the inside. if I didnt know what city i was in I wouldve guessed somewhere in Africa

You've actually been inside Riverside Plaza? I'd kind of like to take a tour of the complex sometime...just out of sheer curiosity. I can't imagine it smells too great in there.
