    Chicago has been known for having wonderful, innovative and creative architecture. It's the home of Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and Jenny.

    There's a blog that posts pictures of some of the less-successful things in Chicago (though not all of them are in Chicago).

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          No, they're not horrible.

          There is a suburb of Chicago that is filled with houses like that. They are ostentatious monstrosities, built to impress more than anything else.

            #4 is just laughable. Let's just drop this castle on top of our garage. It will look awesome! 🤣

            It actually looks like a bad photoshop job.
