I'm from Texas. Was born here, blah, blah, blah. But! I voted for San Francisco.
When I lived in Oakland and traveled into work in The City I loved to mix up my commute and take a transbay bus just so that I could see the view of The City coming in across the Bay Bridge. Hard to see whilst sitting underwater in the Transbay Tube. The view rolling in on the Bay Bridge, right as you slip through Treasure Island, never, ever failed to take my breath away. Also, I used to visit a friend who lived in the Oakland Hills who had a deck with a sensational view of The City, The Bay Bridge, and The Golden Gate Bridge (you could see the Richmond Bay from there also). We'd sit in her hot tub with red wine and watch the sun set. Some of my favorite moments were spent sitting from that vantage point and watching as the fog came in and encased The City.
So can anybody easily name a highrise in SF other than Transamerica Tower?
Most people couldnt name any highrise in Dallas at all.
In fact most cities lack a skyscraper that is iconic enough to be known outside of their cities.
Because of its totally unique(and weird design)SFs Transamerica Pyramid is probably one of the 3-4 most easily recognizable skyscrapers in the country if not world.
I just wanted to show the top 7 buildings of both cities in order! Is that a problem?!?!
I like your list because it shows the buildings which may catch peoples eyes the quickest.
