For entertainment you can't beat Buckingham Palace.

wolf · 04-09-2006, 04:26 PM

Buckingham Palace, because I can't get past the tawdry excess represented by something as ugly as the Guggenheim Bilboa.

Kagen4o4 · 04-09-2006, 07:16 PM

im gonna give guggen a chance. its a modern marvel in construction (or so discovery channel tells me)

Torrere · 04-09-2006, 08:45 PM

Buckingham Palace is boring and Guggenheim Bilbao reminds me far too much of Seattle's ugly-ass EMP building.

buckingham palace

Guggenheim Bilbao is interesting, even fascinating, as a piece of architecture, but Buck House just takes it for me because it has so much going for it in terms of English/British tradition and history.

Buckingham Palace

TiddyBaby · 04-10-2006, 09:23 AM

either one for me...

But I'll go bucky.... they got cool uniforms

Undertoad · 04-10-2006, 09:29 AM

The Palace wins, and will take on the Henge in the sweet 16, the two most powerful Brits. Only the tournament can produce such surprises.

We proceed,

St. Louis Arch (6)
vs
Empire State Building (3)

A good match.

I like the Arch and the tunnel underneath (although never did get to ride the elevator)

glatt · 04-10-2006, 12:08 PM

The Arch is more visually striking, because it's set off by itself, while the Empire State Building is in a forest of other tall buildings.

But still, it's the Empire State Building. A very impressive building, with lots of history.

I vote for the Empire State Building.
