I don't care for the new color at all. It kind of ruins the pre-historic look that it always had for decades.
I've seen that house off of 280(Hillsborough right? I wonder how the neighbors ever allowed that to get built. LOL)

Haha I know, I'm surprised some uptight prick didn't take issue with it and set up some zoning law or something to prevent it. I guess b/c its kind of on the outskirts of town there no one tripped. Personally, I always liked it until they repainted it a couple years ago.

And yes, as far as I know it is in Hillsborough, although the borders wind a bit in that area and it may technically be San Mateo. But I'm pretty sure its the former.

This might not be the weirdest but it's interesting:


It's right off the shoreway about 1 mile from downtown, and they also have great views of downtown.
Here's it being built on streetview: Google Maps
Finished on streetview: Google Maps
Downtown skyline view from there: Google Maps
