Waterloo Region's Architectural Hall of Shame -- the Bottom 10

[BuildingScout]

Granted, there's a bit of hyperbole there but much less than you think.

Is it really that much better than a big box store? Let's see:

• Isolated structure in a sea of parking: Check
  
• Little to no interaction with the street, i.e. inward looking: Check
  
• Architecturally disconnected from its environment: Check
  
• Located on a drive through street with no street parking: Check
  
• You would walk past it without thinking about going in: Check
  

This building has several of the best stores in Uptown: Aroma Cafe, Cobblestone Gallery, Twice is nice, Duke of Wellington, The Savoury (and Twelfth night, past which I walked for many years without ever noticing it was there back before it closed), yet many of those stores struggle because of its many flaws.
