To all our fellow Steemians, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We Hitheryonians are the road today, seeing family and fighting food comas, so today we'll do another fun post to celebrate turkey day. Online and in our fancy design magazines, we are so accustomed to shiny renderings and “high-end” design. In truth, the world is filled with much more creative jest. So today, we present to you some of the most objectively thematic buildings of the world!

This goes to show that not all of us architects are squares! No matter the name and precedent of the holiday, today is a day of sharing, of thanks, and saving up energy for Black Friday shopping. Heartfelt wishes from us all and see you on Monday!
WOW
Exactly!
An amazing selection of buildings, I am assuming planning laws are pretty relaxed in these locations!
Yup, these law makers must be a bunch of basket-cases ;)
