Thank freaking god someone has the balls to say it, but I too, hate the thing. I can't believe that Philly held its skyline down for decades because of that tower.
Taste here seems to be damn conservative. The more columns and crap, the better. I will take LA or Austin's city halls over most of the others posted here any day. Denver is downright dreadful and a banal copy of psuedo-government architecture of 100 years ago: "lets just grab elements from the US Capitol and White House and make a government building"
At least Dallas and Boston tried to use a brain cell or two and do something original, as much as I hate wide open plazas.
