How could 3 nearby skylines NOT be linear to each other? How are Houstons situated? I'm pretty sure they run linear to each other as well...with gaps in between.
Back to my point of Atlanta being a huge pine forest, Atlanta doesn't have gaps, and it has more than four skyscrapers that are futuristic. Atlanta has hundreds of skyscrapers, between downtown Atlanta, midtown, Atlantic Station, and Buckhead.
Btw, with this recent hub-bub and battling between us Southern cities going on lately, particularly on the "ubranity" issue, I must note that I really enjoyed Dallas and hate how it (and Atlanta and Houston) gets flack on these forums.
When I visited, it seemed vibrant, clean, new, and emergent, the same way Atlanta feels. And that skyline really is cool. I can see myself going back!

Keep in mind too that whatever 'gaps' that are there represent historic and beautiful residential neighborhoods (Midtown, Ansley Park/Sherwood Forest, Ardmore Park, Brookwood Hills, Collier Hills, Peachtree Hills, Peachtree Park, Haynes Manor) that will always be there. Greenwich Village, Murray Hill et al cause such a 'gap' in the Manhattan skyline between Downtown and Midtown as well.

Sorry, but the Manhattan skyline does not have any gaps. You must be hallucinating from the parking lot that you just drove by, which took up a whole block on Peachtree Street. The NYC comment was a great way to change the topic of the thread. Good job!

There is a distinct gap between Downtown and Midtown in NYC...anyone can see it, and I'm certainly not implying it as a negative. I love the neighborhoods that cause the gap. My point was that Manhattan is not 100% highrise either, which IMO makes it more interesting. Same with Atlanta. Since Atlanta is one of the topics of this thread, I'm not sure why you construe my comments as irrelevant or OT.
Oh, and you can thank me later for giving you the opportunity to make yet another crass comment about my hometown. Gotta work a few dozen of those in every day on here, don't we?
