The ugliest townhouse: a YoChicago year-end contest

Posted 12/27/2007 by Patrick Rollens

As we close out 2007, we invite our readers to chime in on that most poignant of year-end topics: the ugliest townhouse in Chicago.

We've seen some real winners delivered in 2007, but we'll play it safe and keep our voice out of the nomination process.

Submit your cringe-worthy candidates in the comments section below, or email them to our fearless editorial team. Photos and anecdotes are greatly encouraged.

We've pledged to spend long evenings drinking eggnog and poring over your submissions to decide on the absolute ugliest candidate for 2007. The lucky winner gets a YoChicago t-shirt and yo-yo.
