Grand Junction Eye Sores

Winner and still champion: The empty Far East restaurant on North Avenue. How has it sat empty for so long? Plenty of Grand Junction residents have some really good ideas on what could be done with the space instead of letting it collect graffiti.

Grand Junction's Second Place Eyesores

In second place for 'Worst Eyesore' behind the empty Far East building is the old Sutherland's building, which is known as the Spirit of Halloween building these days. We heard from plenty of people who already hate the new look of 4th Street in downtown Grand Junction and want to include it on the list of eyesores. That answer gains traction because the city spent the money making a change that the residents tell us they didn't ask for.
