What do you do when you’re a smallish New England city and you just can’t screw up big enough to make it on to James Howard Kunstler’s Eyesore of the Month with architectural stunts like this:
You attach these:
To your misplaced (Main Street) poorly designed (no street level pedestrian interest) parking garage:
C’mon Jimbo, give the little guy a chance!
What the hell are those supposed to be? Besides ugly. They do prove one thing, as grotesque as that building was, it could be (and now is) worse.
Makes it worse because now it looks like they think it’s hip now!
Is that a climbing wall? Looks like it. Chattanooga has similar climbing walls on the side of a parking garage. If it is, it’s a good addition.
Not intended to be but why not?
Here’s a link to Chattanooga’s climbing wall. They turned the side of a parking garage into an active destination for people, and a profitable business from the looks of it (it has expanded since I was there). http://highpointclimbing.com/downtown/
Maybe you could stage a climbing takeover of the decorative panels on your garage. : )
