Ugh we so detest the U.S. health insurance industry, there is NO AMOUNT of light-up garland that will make us feel happy about Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (seen here). Nor any number of oriel windows.

We love the rising steams of district heating systems, however.

Supposedly there is a 1935 building in there somewhere but this is all '87 out here.
