I love this photo on Hillku making fun of the condo conversion known as Seattle’s ugliest condo (yes, it has since been repainted several times, getting slightly better with each new paint scheme):
Another less obvious problem with the sign is the two phone numbers. Which should I call?
Any bets on how long before MCM/James Garner replace the sign?

That’s great! I lived a few blocks from there when they did the redesign from normal semi-ugly apartment building to fantastically ugly and overhyped condo project. I hope more bad karma is heading their way for the aesthetic injustice they did to Capitol Hill.

I don’t think Vertigo even comes close to being the ugliest condo on Cap Hill. A lot of those 1990s and late 80s cheapies are far, far worse. I’d take a unit in the Vertigo over one of those any day.
