^^ brah - i live in philly and have a roofdeck overlooking center city
i'm the guy in neighborhood fighting against poor city planning
if it was me, i'd had high rises in every neighborhood..
C'mon -- that's ridiculous! Unless you have a personal bias against Philly, I don't understand your ideology at all. Being in Cleveland now (and it's a pretty area downtown), you can't honestly tell me that Philly is BENEATH Cleveland downtown!?!?
I don't know or said anything about downtowns. Skyline though yes. I was quite shocked at Clevelands Density because the one tall tower is always shown when "Cleveland" comes up. They have a nice skyline to fit there city unlike Philly.
No thanks. I've been to Philly Seen it up close. Nice skyline, just no wow factor. There are a few buildings I like but the overall skyline as a 1st impression appearance or that "WOW FACTOR" wasn't there for me.
