Few major buildings in the world can compare with The Tenor at Yonge and Dundas in Downtown Toronto for its sheer, incoherent, trashy, brutal, ugliness. Turn down the ambient light by night so it's harder to see the blocked-out windows, the tacked-on fans, and the dull battleship-gray finish that tells you it would rather be hiding in the first place, but instead let The Tenor's patchwork of signage shine, and it begins to at least look somewhat animated. The Tenor best works, however, when you capture a glossy red-and-white TTC streetcar out front of it as it plies Dundas Street, as per this saves-the-building image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor APTA-2048, and suddenly you have a fun photo of the city's nightlife.
