Pearl Street's monstrous Verizon building
Day 247
The soft underbelly of the beast
September 2nd, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I was going to say this was the ugliest building in New York, but the link you provided beat me to the punch! Its location near the most awesome structure in New York, the Brooklyn Bridge, makes this building even uglier. I hope the renovations will make this eyesore go away.
The Melbourne equivalent would be the Gas & Fuel towers (thankfully demolished in the late 90’s. You have to wonder what some archtiects were thinking.
