Nelson and Peck: Eyesores of downtown
If you spent Sunday enjoying the sun and missed the Star Tribune, Rick Nelson and Claude Peck sent a shout-out to the ugliest buildings in downtown Minneapolis. (And Lord, we have a bunch of them.)

Says Peck, "Flashy architect Helmut Jahn did a bunch of cool designs in the Chicago loop, including the dazzling and popular State of Illinois Building. So why'd he leave us with the 701 Building, a forgettable midsize office tower with turquoise and salmon-colored accents and the personality of a toaster?"

Also on their list:

• HHH Metrodome
• Star Tribune addition
• Normandy Hotel
• Towle Building
• Hilton Hotel
• International Centre
• Target Center
• Hennepin County Medical Center
• Salvation Army Apartments
• 100 Washington Avenue
• Former Federal Courts Building, 4th Street

What did Nelson and Peck miss? Have any complaints about their list? Jot down a comment, please. (Photo of the Normandy Hotel courtesy of the Star Tribune)
