A victim of the needs-more-cowbell philosophy.

Couple more treasures:

U of T Campus

20 Oaklands Ave, Toronto. Trees are nice but I hate everything else, especially the chimneys.

No, no, no. I usually like the possibly ugly ones here that at least a couple other people like... but this one is horrid. It looks like a mutant pizza hut that grew tumors as a result of cheap, contaminated cladding.

They’re all the same god damn house. Totally unacceptable and should never have been approved.

Maybe they all spawned from the big mamma in the middle.

Or could it be a family thing... wealthy patriarch/matriarch who built a compound of identical homes for their scions, to keep them all close.

Calgary’s NE is already ugly enough without neon signs advertising mamosas and pizza on every available surface.

Huh - as a kid I remember Calgary having a huge signage problem that resulted in a municipal clampdown. I suppose those are on private property as opposed to public though. Back then driving on Crowchild in the NW, the median was littered with that type of signage. And yes, it was a wide, grass median at the time... only 4 lanes too.

The outer suburbs of Ottawa are also horrible for this. It's generally signs like these that occupy a huge amount of your field of vision:

Innes Rd in the east end suburb of Orleans which is mostly a 21st-century commercial strip (mental picture comes to mind) is particularly bad.
