I agree. The only skyline in Texas that I like is Dallas and that's only at night. |

The southwest doesn't do much for me..thats all IMO.
But PHX has a much nicer skyline than all of those.

I wince everytime i see that picture of Lubbock's skyline. It makes Lubbock look ugly and it doesn't show two of the tallest buildings (the second tallest is hidden behind the tallest building in that picture). I don't think Lubbock has a very good skyline, but it at least deserves a picture that shows all of the buildings. It really needs another picture besides that one to be the main picture on Wikipedia. I need to go on a "photo mission' downtown. |

That looks like a dated picture plus it's only one section of the S.A skyline. You could have found a better picture. It's obvious you found the least impressive photo to help your case. |

? It's obviously added a few buildings in the last couple of years and is continuing to. It will get better in time. Not every city (including Dallas) used to have a stellar skyline. In reference to height downtown, the close proximity to Sky Harbor Airport doesn't allow for that. |

Albuquerque is not that bad.. We could be like El Paso.. but with a little more,.. or actually alot more recent development Albuquerque has seen over 5 new highrise buildings in the last 8 years.
Albuquerque's Skyline actually lights up at night!

Oh that does look good at night,and hopefully it will be better than El Paso because that's not much to strive for unless were talking height wise. |
