And then there is antenna farm out in Missouri City:

Missouri City Towers
Yea all 5 of Dallas' peanut clusters should meld together by 3013, LOL. And Dallas wish it had Houston's refineries to boost its second tier economy. And farm land?! There's plenty of that in the city of Dallas, mostly in barren hill-billy vacant south Dallas.

Yup.

He could gather up all of D/FW's skylines put them in once place & they still don't have the visual impact of whats inside Houston's 610 Loop. That's how far ahead Houston is when it comes to building skyscrapers. Dallasites are quick to the punch to use the Love Field height restriction excuse though. Its really lame.

Even Austin of all cities is building taller than Dallas these days & will soon be larger.

I heard in the Dallas Morning News that it's predicted to overtake Miami in three years. Three years!

yep Dallas is always trying to pull the wool over people's eyes by taking two things and trying to compare it to one thing in Houston. Even the city itself piggy backs off of Fort Worth to try and hang with Houston
