Yea, personally I think they're pretty awesome, but its also amusing that they are giant windowless concrete fortresses in an age where everything else seems to compete to see how much glass can be shoved into onto the facades.

I love them and every semi-minor city seems to have a version.

Madison Square Garden is built over a cemetery. The restless ghosts there have cursed it so only lovely buildings can be built on it.
