My name is not "Barney", it's Ford. Why are you referring to me by that name?

Anyway, I disagree with your opinion, and your sources. Wikipedia is hardly reliable, those of us in the theological field know this best, their information about the Masoretic text for instance is completely at odds with the best Jewish historical evidence. Numerous Rabbinic sources have much more accurate historical data.

As for Miami, yes Chicago as well as many other American cities have it's skyline beat in number of high rises.

Philadelphia is only one of those cities, San Francisco is another. Miami will remain the little guy for quite some time.

As for you Q, may YHWH our Elohim rebuke you.

Philadelphia has a better downtown core than Miami. But a better skyline? Ehhh, you should have just left Chicago to do the beating.

I'd say Philly's skyline is much taller than Miami's more buildings. Miami doesn't have a building taller than 789 feet. That's pretty pathetic. Cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Charlotte, Atlanta, LA, Chicago, NYC, Seattle and many others have LOTS of buildings taller than 800 feet, and Miami has none.

Cleveland has 1 taller than 800, Pittsburgh 1, charlotte only 1, and Seattle only 1 so your statement just made no sense unless you consider 1 alot.

I love Philadelphia...but there's no point in ruining the thread by randomly adding a city just because it's where you're from.
Who said it was third best? I certainly didn't!

None of them have LOTS of buildings taller than 800. Most of the cities you named have 1 or 2(if they're lucky) taller than 800.

Chicago's is top 3 in the world. Miami's isn't even top 10 in the world.
