City Hall exterior fucking rules.

It's crazy that we legitimately have one of the sickest buildings on the entire planet, and somehow most of the dweebs here complain that it's "ugly" because it isn't either a steel and glass gentrification box, or a "historic" brick thing.

It looks like the regional branch of an evil fictional corporation from an 80's Sci-Fi movie. Weyland-Yutani, Tyrell Corp, Omni Consumer Products, Cyberdyne, the like.

Which means it fucking slaps.

I love city hall. Took me a while to appreciate the interior, but once it clicked I was in awe of the architects. The whole building is awesome, except for where people have butchered various parts of the interior. Even the plaza, which may not be pretty, has served the city very well for huge gatherings of all sorts.

I wish they'd reopen the exterior/interior plaza spaces to the public. They've been fenced off for decades now for 'security' and they only use them for limited events.

Ever since I was a child it has been my single favorite building. It looks fucking sick.
