Had to laugh when I read this;
However, that didn’t prevent two buildings on opposite ends of the state from being included on a list of the 100 “ugliest” public buildings in the country.
One of the buildings is The Denty. It ranked 93rd. To watch more videos of how we got this ugly tin can, go HERE. I still believe if we went with the original plan of hexagonal panels it would have looked better and been constructed better!
thank mike heuther for this dubious distinction.
The Denty looks like a new car parked in Rapid City after one of their infamous hailstorms.
Blame Huether narcissism. He dictated cheap tin foil instead of sheet metal. This is the guy who painted streets black and said he repaved. Same guy who used public money to build himself private indoor tennis courts. Same guy who built a bathhouse on VA property promising therapy for Vets. Then, vets got left out and only rich use it.
But Huether did build an 8-story parking garage for crickets. It’s become 2nd most ugly on this side of the state due to the color block graffiti.
Huether had individual who was to give council presentation regarding inferior Denty design jailed for 8 hours. Kimmel cancelled? I became the surprise backup singer who formally appeared. Huether’s embarrassment worth it. It was soon after he began his Mafia Chin rambling on city streets.
Worst of all; Huether paid 80 million for railroad yards. It’s federal land illegally sold by a private stock railroad without clear title. A toxic cleanup cut up by easements and narrow lots that can’t be built on even if abandoned from claim.
We don’t need another Huether.
All we want is no Charter Home.
And not a downtown Dome.
(to the tune of Tina Turner)
I miss the good old days, when this was all a joke. AND, when Letterman would have The Donald on his show about once a year, and then Letterman would ask him the same question each time: “Say, what’s that thing on your head?” ….

The good old days was when late night talk shows were not a federal crime and truth could be reported without Trump edits. The constitution needs amendment to protect citizens from abusive bullied presidential power.
