That person was me and the comparison was obviously NOT about architecture, but proportion and placement. That's why we both responded the way we did.

Nice Calg shots but that Kentucky-tub tower is even uglier than the skylon in Niagara Falls.

Here is an older shot of the Calgary tower, taken in the early 1970s:

ignorant comments for sure. i happen to love the Calgary tower. ugly is a perception that is very personal. you may find it ugly but i don't. don't get me wrong i have no delusions of it being some kind of beauty tower; however, i don't share your seeming hatred for the Calgary tower. btw it is many times nicer than that thing in NF. bashing the Calgary tower, which is a Calgary icon is unkind to us calgary tower lovers. k. lol
ps: last time i looked that big white tower in Toronto looked like................. well i wont say. i am just not that mean. hahaha

it is not ignorant to express this sort of aesthetic opinion.

It does strongly resemble a KFC bucket on a stick, but then again the Niagara Falls tower is extremely unattractive. Tough call really.

Yes this was more my point. I find most towers like that ugly though; except the Space Needle and the CN Tower (but only at night).

ignorant? Really? I used to live in Alberta (probably before you were born) so don't presume to know me.

I was in Vancouver last week. Here's a shot from the Marine Building.

Zoomed-in. It would be neat the get a look up Hastings St. the other way from the condo building seen here.

Nice the bend at the end of the street really helps as well.
