There's no way in hell I could work at aA--walking by that pos Cheesy Tower would piss me off so much I couldn't function as an artist.

The cinema tower is so indescribably heinous that this very post should delete itself on pain of contradiction.

No kidding--no matter what they said or offered, I just couldn't be enticed.

Sometimes I like to imagine you folks in real life. Which one of you is secretly peter clewes and which of you are haven't left your basement apartment all winter except to get cheesies from the corner store.

If you ever show up to the meetups you can actually meet some of us, and I promise *some* of us leave the basement every once and a while

I'm not judging basement dwellers... if I could survive on the odd dorito forage I would. Unfortunately a dog and above ground rent keep me busy.

To stay on topic though... I must say I pass Cinema tower everyday on the way to work and I hate it. More than any other building. Its south side is a bit more palatable but its north side is terrible. What really gets me is that orange strip and the terrible lighting feature, which looks like they spent $78 on at walmart. I cannot wait until Bond blocks part of it from my view.

I work nearby and I don't know. Sometimes I like it (I seriously thought about buying a place there) and other times I think it's a giant mess. I guess it depends on the day. Won't take much for Noir to surpass that cluster of condos.
