I didn't know if it was sarcasm or not. I don't see how somebody couldn't see beauty in Pittsburgh's skyline. I guess he must be a browns fan or bengals fan or something.
No. I mean, I guess Pittsburgh's skyline is cool for what it is, but I just don't see power in it.
I see power in New York, Chicago, Houston, and Los Angeles (what a coincidence that they're the four largest cities. Hmmm...)
Less as much, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Miami, Seattle and San Francisco.
What are you talking about? Why just because you don't think it is powerful, can't others think it looks powerful? IMHO it is powerful, and i am not talking about beauty at all. please, let people have their opinions.
I did let you have your opinion,I'm just disagreeing
I love how posters bring the "NYC's buildings are characterless" card. Open your eyes, man. And Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Minneapolis have more architectural diversity? Find me a pre-World War I skyscraper in those cities standing next to one built in 2007 which is standing next to one built in 1950 with a cafe from the 1700 across the street.
South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan is a great example. Old, historic cafes and shops on a beautiful cobblestone stree with skyscrapers in the backdrop dating from today to the World Wars era.
NYC's skyline is powerful, iconic, just like the OP described as their criteria. Nobody said anything about pretty wittle mountains and shiny new buildings, this thread is all about power and authority in a skyline and New York and Chicago will own this. Not even really a question to be asked.
Beautiful Chicago pics, by the way. Chicago is a city that looks great from every angle!

I think that Lower Manhattan is the greatest example of how amazing New York's architecture is.
Yea,it'll take some time before Miami catches up with Houston's skyline.
What has made it to construction in Miami thus far does give it the 3rd biggest skyline in the country with more office towers and mixed-use projects on the way. This is not anybody's opinion. It is a new fact, so new that few people are aware of it! The Miami skyline now looks as though a giant tsunami is about to strike the city. That is phenomenal considering the skyline we had in the 90s. The change the city has experienced in the past two years has made it totally unrecognizable as the Miami anybody knew at the turn of the milleninum.
Now we have the dollar at its lowest level yet against the Euro, which is partly what led to all this, the Feds talking lowering interest rates again this month, and we've had two hurricane seasons in a row with Florida nowhere in the radar picture. With what has topped out thus far, the skyline itself has become its own adverstisement starring in national commericals and TV shows. Because of all of this, we could see a turnaround in the market here in 2008, and the boom that occurred here recently could be reignited, so there is no telling where this will end. Miami has blasted its way into 3rd place so fast that few people have even noticed.
