Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.

Eye Guy at 6th & Wall
When you walk by the entrance to 521 Wall Street at 6th & Wall, you don't see anything weird. After all, an office building with lots of vacancy is a pretty ordinary thing, right? But, like many things, on closer inspection, you see this: I say well placed and well done, Eye Guy. It works nicely right there. It's subtle, but effective. And in a practical sense, it's not impossible to remove either. Good job!
I think he's starting to understand the importance of context.
