This discussion shows that the SSP gods are peeking inside my head! My wife and I just took a trip to St. Jacob's Farmers' Market and that gave me a chance to glance at the skyline(s) of KW. I have to say the view from Highway85 around where the Manulife building is over towards the university area is very odd. I remarked to my wife that it looks like a forest floor after a big rainfall - the buildings are arrayed like mushrooms.
Just weird, and I agree that those residential towers architecturally are awful. To avoid some of the back ups, and just for the fun of it we took King St a bit down the north end of Waterloo on the way back, and despite the LRT passing through, the area looks like a tundra, yuck-a-doodle-doo. But what concerns the central parts of the urban core of KW, it leaves a much better impression than our ambiguously beloved Hamilton. There is also just a sense of the landscape being much better taken care of. Why can't there be an elementary level of upkeep and cleanliness along our central streets!?
Anyway, let's see what the next couple of years bring to Hamilton and to KW, these are heady times.
