O-tacular I am disappointed, that shit will break pretty easily. London's 3-foot-thick concrete walls are a much better defence.

The angle in this picture doesn't show it well, but the base and the sides are all concrete. In addition it's essentially 2 seperate buildings linked by a 30 story glass atrium. The glass part is not an integral part of the structure, just meant to keep the judges and the courtroom apart from the criminals. This baby was built in the era of post 9-11 paranoid over-engineering. I heard it's built to withstand a bomb. When you go inside there's more security than the airport. Plus there are holding cells in the basement.

Ecoles Georges Vanier in Montreal. Typical of 70's styles Montreal highschools. No windows, shitty coloured brick, confusing layout and horrid landscaping... where's the yard? There's plenty of space for one...

Behold:

Vaughan - TACKY by SSP Tony, on Flickr

This is the epitome of the "City" of Vaughan.... loud, obnoxious, over-sized, cheap-looking, Italian and extremely cheesy.

People actually have their wedding banquets in this ugly facility.. pulling up in their small-penis stretch SUVs.

matthew6 · #**189** Posted **Jan 19, 2011, 8:14 PM**

is it strange to literally lol at these pics?

O-tacular · #**190** Posted **Jan 19, 2011, 8:18 PM**

No, I literally have laughed out loud for 2 days now going through this thread. Just glad that ugly is universal.

Fugly!!!! I can just imagine that the place is popular for Guido/Guidette (usually, but not necessarily (southern) Italian...guidos can be Greek, Persian, even Pakistani) weddings. Are there lots of guidos in the GTA? Montreal is packed with Guidos, especially during Formula 1.

Reminds me of this pile of shite in NF:

Plays the music from "Halloween" over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and.....

O-tacular · #**192** Posted **Jan 19, 2011, 9:44 PM**

Wow that's quite a strip. Is that mini-epcot centre next door?

MolsonExport · #**193** Posted **Jan 19, 2011, 9:46 PM**

I really am getting sick of seeing gnarly stinky feet (complete with toe-ring) when I scroll down. From K-W, so with respect to the thread, if the shoe fits, wear it (cover up the goddamn feet already)

MolsonExport · #**194** Posted **Jan 19, 2011, 9:53 PM**

Anywhere, Canadian Suburbs.

Sorry, I'm confused... do you mean the pile of shit that is NF?

Well the highschools in the Montreal area are not as bad as what you can find in burnaby (suburb of Vancouver)

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s...vfK2O2OOVPcgApzByg3w&cbp=12,46.26,,0,5.6
That school was built a few years ago!!!! AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN EFING PRISON.

Actually the point where I chose the Google Streetview shows the gym, but they are very few windows.

The sad thing is, this school is occupied by many refugees and immigrants.

I wonder if those boulders were part of the official landscaping plan?
