Our readers had big feelings about the ugliest spots in the Triangle, and we are here for it.
Some of the eyesores you highlighted, in no particular order:
- North Carolina's state legislative building, on Jones Street in Raleigh, as seen above
- The state government complex, also on Jones Street in Raleigh

- The Wake County Courthouse

- The part of Western Blvd with the new diverging diamond interchange
- Described by one reader as “Just a sea of orange barrels, clearcut trees, uncut overgrowth, and then the abandoned K-Mart is just the cherry on top. Just hideous.”
- Downtown Durham's Marriott, which one reader said "looks like a drab Soviet era apartment building."
- The Archdale building, at the corner of Peace and Wilmington in Raleigh
