Nice little slideshow from the Houston Press about some downtown eyesores. I daresay it's a largely uncontroversial list, though I personally have no particular beef with the look of either the Alley Theater or the George R. Brown Convention Center. But hey, eye of the beholder and all that. As noted, only one of those buildings is likely to get a facelift soon. Now I'd like to see a similar list for the rest of Houston, since Lord knows there's ugly buildings in other places, too.

It looks like it was designed by a kindergartener
