People always say, i love colourful buildings, more colourful buildings please. Then three years later they are the first to say, man that teal is ugly.

One thing I like about our downtown is that there hasn't been the same giant construction booms/busts, so you don't have an architectural 'monoculture' of similar buildings all side by side. There's buildings from almost every decade. A lot of them are ugly, fine, but I like the mix.
