You do realize that there isn't a gap in the downtown Atlanta skyline which, by itself, is about as large as the skyline of Dallas.

What many people are not aware of with the city of Atlanta is that Midtown started to grow vertically in the late 80s and throughout the 90s to today, to the point that Downtown and Midtown is now basically one connected skyline, and connected rather well, mind you, minus a gap where the interstate cuts right through it. Hence, that's one of the "gaps".

Other gaps might show from a distance beyond the tree line, if one considers high rises that are not quite as tall, but are still large enough to be considered "skyscrapers" by many people when pictures are taken from close up. Even then, if one is of a higher elevation, such as from the metro's northwestern suburbs, you see, there's not really any gaps.

Lol, Atlanta isn't the "best of the best" and Charlotte can compete in certain categories.

Not sure where your reference of new buildings being built, or how many people are moving to the MSA, but that's pretty irrelevant and hypocritical to say considering your location is a passive aggressive bash at Atlanta.

But ok.

Chicago? Relative to its size and influence, Chicago is about the most humble major city there is. I can't even name one of their posters.

I should be asking you the same question, yes? Why are you so concerned with Atlanta- literally worlds away from you? Every other week, you create an even more ridiculous thread than the last, pitting Atlanta against one of the Texas cities. Give it a rest already.

LMAO is right! No ma'am, let's not go lumping Nacogdoches in with Houston more than 2 hours (141 miles to be exact) away! Lufkin is your go-to location for those Citi-Trends and Whataburger excursions, not Houston!

PS- I already know this is somebody's child, but parents, stop leaving your PC's unattended!
