Joppa skyscraper

[narkoradko]

First impression after moving to Joppa/Portobello was, that this ugly landscape-destroyer should be leveled to the ground, and the architect who allowed to build this monster - hanged in a front of Town Hall. Unfortunatelly my view from kitchen goes this direction. Second ugly thing is this horrible powerplant.

What do You think about it? I this topic is already discussed - sorry. I am under influence of emotions:)

You should go to Bristo Square and George Square to see where Georgian splendour meets Orwellian Shoebox.

Truly the Appleton Tower is a monstrous carbuncle.

Its only 9 floors and like you say the views are awesome. I remember when I used to sell properties we got one of the flats in there to sell. It was really difficult to put a price on it. A 7th floor flat in the only Joppa skyscraper.

Anyway, it sold in one week for such a good price more neighbours were persuaded to sell.

This leads me to conclude that these flats are desirable places to live for many people.

As that the same as that old Portobello disease of being 'tired and emotional'?
