What is the weirdest building in your City ?

What is the weirdest or most f*** up building in your city ? I will start by posting one of the most unique and yet, probably one of the ugliest (strangest?) building there is in Quebec City area. This one is located in the eastern part of town in Ste-Anne de Beaupré borough, near the celeb basilique Ste-Anne-De-Beaupre.

Ah, sometimes I forget about that one in St. John's. Wow. This thread will be fun.

Wow Martin, your Orange Julep will be hard to beat. I now plan to visit this beauty next time i go to Montreal

I don't think anything else in St. John's can compete with The Rooms.

I have had some difficulties to think of a single weird building in Sherbrooke, but here is the most anomalous one I have found.

The CASJB is probably among downtown Sherbrooke's ugliest buildings (it's even worse on this side). Hopefully, it will eventually be hidden by trees.

It was a failed attempt to build something nice. Half of the budget had been cut just before its construction started, so they decided to use painted aluminium instead of chrome.

I guess the flying saucer in Winnipeg when it's built?

There's at two milk cartons in Winnipeg and one in Regina on Winnipeg street.

If memory serves me right, there's a 4th in Calgary.

I know the architect who built this thing..

Until you posted the original plans I was going to say that this one wasn't bad. Obviously they cheaped out though. Still not the strangest or worst though.
