A Portland eyesore no more...

Not many like the Portlandia.

The only good thing about that building is the statue.

wasn't one of the buildings recently voted one of the 10 ugliest in the US? I think the one with Portlandia?

One of the WORLD's ugliest! I think it's funny actually...so bad it's good.

I kind of like that building. its tacky shit, something you would fine in Mexico City or something. Decidedly 80s.

The second largest copper statue in the country (after the statue of liberty)

Different to say the least. I like the solar roof.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

THe other new high rise has a similar roof. I'd like to see this theme continue with future development.

solar roof. In Portland, fucking, Oregon. Great idea.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Oregon has a rainy reputation, but did you know that solar energy is Oregon’s most abundant renewable energy resource? Oregon has a good solar resource that can be put to work.

West of the Cascade mountain range, our sunny summers offset our cloudy winters, giving Portland and Eugene as much annual solar energy as the national average

Communities east of the Cascades get as much sun each year as Miami

[Buzz Killington]

You're telling me that Solar Energy produces more power in Oregon than Hydroelectric (i.e. Bonneville Dam?)

that sounds a little suspect. solar energy is a fucking scam right now, as are most "green energy".

I want to see who they hire to mow that fucker...
