Ok the fact that it is a climbing centre does make it cooler but it still looks like the Big Bucket Car Wash.

Is that photoshopped? The guy's hair is the exact same colour as the building. All it needs is a St. Hubert as the anchor tenant.

Speaking of yellow, I find both of these stores to be some of the ugliest out there from a branding standpoint:

It's Montreal so the answer to that is obviously no!

That pic is thirty years old though, it probably doesn't look like that anymore.

That looks horrendous. Very vomit like.

the new no-frills logo/color-scheme is wretched; way worse than the old one (didn't offend me). that piper's place looks like BP's logo, but even more vomity-green.

The Johnson Cobe building is a disaster. THe combo of bricks metal and glass is haphazard and the bucket reminds me of the top of Saurons Tower. All in all a ridiculous Tetris building.

Is Cobbe some new word for a spherical cube?

Bless your newfie heart! Every once in awhile you casually post something like this or Ches’ diner that is just so savagely hideous that it blows my mind. I love the cutesy names too. It’s humble and hideous.

Thunder Bay sounds like one of the most depressing cities in Canada. Is there at least a quaint main street? I imagine it being an oversized work camp accidentally turned into a town.
