Yes Vaughan is Ontario’s answer to Laval. And while it doesn’t have any clocktowers (yet) Balleria comes very close to being Vaughan’s clockzilla.

Always thought Miss Sausage was Ontario's answer to Laval.

Missingsausage is the other answer to Laval, maybe they should merge into one ugly city.

Birds of a feather flock together

Yes BallArea is rather clockzillian despite not having a clock. It has the requisite pieces including girth and a head with menacing eyes. It’s quite prison-like and imposing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you have to go through Vaughn to get to Missingsausage from Toronto? Aren’t they just beside each other? That concentration of ugliness is even greater than what they have in Quebec. Longueuil and Laval are at least geographically separated by the city of Montreal and the St. Lawrence.

Yes I believe you are correct.

Mississauga and Vaughan are just barely contiguous. They kind of touch where the 427 meets the 407. The majority of people traveling from Toronto to Mississauga would be doing so on the 401 or Gardiner/QEW.

Yeah I think you’re right (I haven’t been in the direction of Vaughan for a while).

The inside is also rather tacky.

Also I forgot to mention, the sheer quantity of towers in the Balleria Complex makes it look extraordinarily wide spread and menacing.

The Baller-area complex is ugly in some ways, but I find it rather mundane more than anything, considering where it's located.

True it is across from Canada’s Wonderland meaning it doesn’t really ruin too many views. To me it’s more it’s clunky design and sheer mass.

I present to you Edgeley In The Village in Toronto. Otherwise known as Toronto’s Mayfair Place

These images don’t even begin to show how huge this building is here’s one of it stretching up the street.

And even that doesn’t show how big this building is. Truly an atrocious building.

Money can't buy taste. There's not an inch of that place that's pleasing to the eye.

Yup, almost as tacky as some of the “luxury” homes in Vaughan. Here’s another pic of the lobby.

All of these supposed uglies pale in comparison to the castle plopped on top of the post-war house. That's top-tier shit.
