Ugly Spots
The News & Review's list of "10 Ugliest Spots in Chico" is a pretty good list of architectural and land-use eyesores.
I'm surprised the N&R decided not to take a pot shot at rival E-R by proclaiming the windowless E-R building as one of the ugliest spots in Chico.
And what about most of the commercial strips in Southeast Chico where chain store design and architecture dominate? Or large stretches of Mangrove Avenue.
My least favorite is the Bank of America building along the City Plaza. That building, along with Taco Bell and Jack in the Box, ruin the main downtown plaza.
I think local muralists Scott Teeple and Gregg Payne should work on some of the walls of the buildings listed by the N&R. Their art will go a long way to improving some of those buildings.
Today's Scrabble word is bename, or to name.
