Ugly, Thy Name Is Bank of America's New Los Feliz Branch



Rocket Fever isn't a fan of the new dreamsicle-colored stucco mess that recently popped up across the street from the Los Feliz library branch (at Hillhurst and Franklin). Granted, it's a step up from the decrepit gas station that was there before, but the new Bank of America location really hurts the eyes.

Rocket Fever gets personal, calling the building out on its ugliness:

I don't like your stupid building, your stupid colors, or your stupid huge logos. I don't like you coming into my neighborhood all big and bold, thinking that you can just shove your signage in the face of Los Feliz and get away with it. I'm not the only one who doesn't like you. There are others too.

I mean, you are ugly. It looks like you were painted with Muppet puke. And your little attempts at landscaping are pathetic. You are such a letdown. For months, we wondered what that patch of dirt was going to become. A clothing boutique no one shops at? A Pinkberry? Maybe another yoga studio? Nope. Just a boring, stupid bank branch.




Rocket Fever is particularly puzzled by the fake window above. "What's that supposed to be? It looks like a porthole to second-rate exterior designers' hell. And who's supposed to see it? The dry-cleaner owners, who just so happen to have X-ray vision?"
