I'm a Houston supporter but the landscape in that picture was dreadful. The skylines were awesome.

What's with the microprint? But i see how you're taking this bad picture and running with that ridiculous idea in your last sentence. That picture was obviously taken from an industrial field or powerplant. So all of a sudden that section constitutes it as a city? Gimmie a break.

And TexasTallest, you're on suspension from posting pics of Houston for a while. just kidding.

so "close enough" is the excuse Dallasites use when theyre number 2? LOLOL. as Trae said, its not even close. that picture looks like pictures of Houston with the Texas Medical Center in the foreground and downtown in the background.

this..



looks like this... (which is only 2 of Houstons 7-8 skylines)



compared to my original picture...



LOL stoneclaw. i should have known Dallasites would take shots at that picture since our skylines are far superior and they couldnt say anything negative about them.

ok you said that to say what?...nobody said Dallas was Houston....were not trying to be....Dallas's direction is perfect for Dallas...Houston can build buildings that stretch all the way to centerville and it still wouldn't change the awsome path that Dallas is on....

Because you said that that view was close enough to the shot of Houston, but it isn't. Dallas is on its own awesome path, while Houston is on its own. Don't think anyone was talking about that though.

Took these shots a few weeks ago.

The east side is ugly. Very industrial and lower income compared to the west.

Those shots dont look too different to me...you are correcting me as if I said the shot of Dallas is equal to the shot of Houston....my point was that the shot of Dallas shows that for Dallas to be alot smaller its close to being visually equal in the two SHOTS....I Know that Dallas dont have as many buildings as Houston stretched as far as Houston but Dallas aint to shabby in that regard.
