they claim they stopped construction of it because they ran out of money, but the real reason is that there was no one left that wanted their name associated with this turd.

Looks like they need to stick an orange on it and "juice the city".

I think "The Eye Sore on the Lake Shore" aka Soldier Field is much worse.

I just read the article. I think it's so ugly because it's not finished. With a million shiny windows on it it might looks a little better.

I like how the article says it's frequently "air brushed" out of pictures. When was that article written 1995?

I don't think the writer was in North Korea.But the only ones taking it out of the pictures are the north korean gov't, hence they lack humorous image of them airbrushing, implying that they lack anything better. In a decade, the north koreans will be MSpainting it out of pictures.

Seriously. They should have just redid in the style it was before instead of that ugly flying saucer part.

From the look of it being all concrete that is what the face of it will look like, maybe painted? doubt it with the size of it though. The windows are most likely set back a few feet from the face of the concrete so from a distance you wouldn't notice them much.
