Classic Post: Odds And Ends 2009

TW: So the final "Best Of 2009" Odds And Ends this time. Buildings that are nice to see but for most part I would not want to have to see too often...

From Ms. Blogger circa October 2009:
There’s been a LOT of construction in the River North area since we moved into the White House – I guess after almost 10 years, that’s not so unusual. Most of the new building has been residential and most of that has been pretty basic.

Sometimes basic is good…interesting as the buildings below might be, I’m not sure I would want to see them every time I looked out the window.
