Tall poll

None of my three favourite Montreal skyscrapers made the poll.

My top three:
-The Sun Life Building on Dorchester Square
-The Aldred Building on Place d'Armes
-The one whose name I don't know, but that has that crazy light-up neon ziggurat on the top.
Can someone tell me its name? It's the one in front of PVM.

Personally, I think IBM-Marathon is a monstrosity. Anyone who votes for it loses 3% of my respect.

I posted the poll.. Somehow the "Maison des cooperants" shows up twice. I remember putting the Sun Life Building as the last choice, but maybe I screwed it up somehow.

I think you're talking about Tour McGill, which is in the poll.

The Sun Life building was the largest building in the commonwealth at the time of its construction.

I love the IBM buidling. It's one of the few graceful skyscrapers I've seen. It even gets echoed in the Bell Centre.

Le 1000 is simply too phallic for my tastes.

I've always liked Dominion Square but I guess it's not really a skyscraper.

Be glad that the new MSO home was cancelled. That was going to be a monstrous cube with hideous gashes in it.

I erroneously added the second Maison des Cooperants because it's my favorite building and in a fit of temporary blindness I didn't think it was represented. I was going to remove it, but they both already had votes.

Life is so confusing.
