Top Ten Buildings in Your Region

[chrisallard5454]

Ok, so we'll start off by everyone throwing a list of their ten favourites. Then I will create a poll to see which ten go National. Remember, no limits to the qualifiers. Could be any reason, architecture, historical significance, Political influence, height, etc.

I will start the poll tomorrow so lets throw some good ones up there. Try and put pictures if you can so people can see what they will be voting for.

It would be much easier for me to come up with a "bottom 10" list, as there is little to recommend about London (the boring one).

The school of the 1% makes the cut? I do like the Dominion Public building, University College, and the other old buildings posted. Talbot centre is banal. Bah, I got spoiled living in Montreal much of my life.

I love the new Ivy School of Business Building. I don't know much about the school and I don't give a crap if it's "the school of the 1%". All I know is that it's a nice, sleek, modern building.

While I do agree that the Talbot Centre isn't the greatest (sometimes it feels like it belongs in a suburban office park), I included it because they are some of the few all glass skyscrapers downtown. Also, I couldn't find decent pictures for some of the smaller, lesser known buildings that I like around town.
