ve always thought that the Sears building was more of an inverted ziggurat than a pyramid. Also, ziggurat is fun to say.
which i guess would make it a "taruggiz".

God knows some of us have gone on here at length about what is ugly in this city, all the while recognizing that it is a great place to live in.

TORONTO Love It or Leave It!!!![]()
You hoping for a mass exodus or something?
It usually feels like loving Toronto is the dissenting view in this town.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's gotten a "are you crazy?" response when declaring one's love of Toronto.
Why is this book a problem?
...
I don't know if you have ever read Nelson Algren, or haven't read him in a while. He savaged Chicago at nearly every turn - its ugly elevated trains, its flop houses, its corruption, its poverty, its racism - and yet there is no doubt he loved that city. His metaphor was falling in love with a woman with a broken nose.
Some have noted elsewhere outside this world of the internet, that self-deprecation is a Torontonian trait, a counter to outright boosterism found in other cities, and other places, but no less a sign of wanting the best for their city. ,,,.
I loathe the Puglys as well, just for the name and the initial tendency towards criticism implied by that award (which I think they've tried to back off of).
if the authors of this website were imaginative they could have opened it up to any part of the built environment and that would have been more interesting.
Crotchety complaints about buildings - this we hardly need more of.
