Actually I don't...I love that building...Scranton has an eleven story Victorian "skyscraper"..with twin roofs...beauttiful...The Chrysler Building is just about my favorite tower anywhere....PITTS.

My top favorite skyscraper in Michigan is the Penobscot Building in Detroit.


My Favorite building of al time would be the JHC (Chicago), though.

Transamerica Pyramid.

A pyramid - where the floor space gets smaller while you go up in height. In one of the most expensive downtowns in the country. It goes against all economic sense. Outragous.
