Milwaukee is full of great architecture, but like any city, we have our share of eye sores. So what is your least-favorite Milwaukee building? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but some things are just plain ugly, so sound-off now!

E-mail us at soundoff@staff.onmilwaukee.com and if picked, we'll post your response next Sunday. Only submissions that include your full name and where you live will be considered.

The Third Ward needs a major movie theater, since Prospect Mall Theater is now closed. And how about fast food restaurants? Taco Bell? McDonald's? A pizza-delivery service? Beer and liquor store? How about a Walgreens?

After some careful thought, I have decided that the Third Ward could benefit from an outdoor, off-leash dog park. I know real estate is at a premium in this neighborhood, but there are many pet owners who are regularly stuck in condominiums with their dogs and no where close by to go for exercise! Thanks for the chance to voice my opinion!

I think the Third Ward is one of the most beautiful, progressive spots in the city. The restaurants, retail shops and performance art spaces are among the best I've seen. The community really seems to work together nicely. If there was anything I'd think Third Ward needed it would be something like American Apparel and perhaps a café/music venue hybrid. Keep up the great work, Third Ward!
