As a Seattleite, I also love the Columbia Tower. (The Seafirst and Bank of America names are gone). It was controversial when first built as being too big and too dark, but over the years seems to have blended in and still maintained its focus on the skyline. Coming up on its 25th anniversary!

Beyond that, I also love Chicago's Hancock Tower. What a magnificent architectural achievement, way ahead of its time. Nothing says "Chicago skyline" quite like the Hancock. While the Sears Tower is taller, I have always liked the Hancock better.

Chrysler Building is my favorite I would definitely move it to Chicago our skyline needs a nice art deco skyscraper. Beaux Arts and Art Deco are my favorite types of architecture and unfortunately they are not represented well in Chicago's skyline My 2nd favorite is John Hancock, 3rd is Empire State, and 4th is Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.

The Chrysler Building in NYC.




191 Peachtree Tower in Atlanta (yeah it's a boring name but I love the look)




Sovereign Tower in Atlanta's Buckhead area, next door to Bloomingdale's. I like how the freeway goes under the entire complex.




I've always loved how Boston's old John Hancock Building (left) is reflected in the new John Hancock Tower (right).
