JHK’s Three-Act Play
Megaphone to distant alien civilizations? No, just a decommissioned Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on San Francisco’s Geary Boulevard. Rather than scrap it, they transformed it into “street art.” (Probably would have been cheaper to take it down.) Geary Boulevard is one of the more remarkably depressing thoroughfares in urban America, considering that the city is among the top five most expensive places to live in the USA. Below: lined mostly with one and two story buildings of no discernible design aesthetic, it’s every bit as bleak and futureless as the Happy Motoring wastelands of Los Angeles.

Jim how about U.S. Bank Stadium in the Downtown East section of Minneapolis a total monstrosity

Initially I thought it was someone’s attempt at creative parking lot lighting by making the post look like a home lamp with inverted lampshade. KFC makes more (and less) sense though.
I’m thinking that the next target should be the Ali Center in Louisville done by the New York City bohemians Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership.
