I conquered that hill and put my stamp on it. Just the first letter of my name, since the rest of it would've been overkill. Everybody knows what that P stands for.

How could you forget Captain John's Floating Seafood Restaurant? It has been closed for a couple of years now, but the guy who owns it is from Croatia originally, and he owes over a million dollars in back taxes to the city over this ship. The ship used to be a luxury Mediterranean cruise ship from Yugoslavia, and then this guy bought it and sailed it all the way here to open a fine dining seafood restaurant.

It's starting to rust and rot underneath now and it's actually stuck in mud. It's the ugliest thing on the Toronto water front, I think.

Oh yeah. What an eyesore. The ship should at least be painted to hide the massive rust stains.

San Jose, California, where I used to live, has this sculpture of Quetzalcoatl downtown which looks lot more like a pile of shit than a god. The rumor is that this was not an accident, the artist was apparently upset at the city's handling of the commission and this was his revenge.

is it supposed to be a snake God? I know it it is shaped like a pile of pooh.... But to the untrained eye it looks like a snake

Quetzalcoatl is a winged serpent, so yes it's sort of a snake god or dragon god. I can't overstate how much this thing looks like a pile of shit when you see it in person. The first time I saw it, from across the street, I literally couldn't figure out what it could possibly be aside from a pile of shit and was wondering why the city would have a sculpture of that. I had to go right up to it to see that it was supposed to be Quetzalcoatl.

I live in the suburbs of New York City.

There is about a million things to see and not a one of them interests me enough anymore.
