Dense.... pretty at night.... NOT a fan?

Those are two things people usually love about skylines.

Yeah I guess he's judging all skylines on NYC's criteria.

Well I guess that would be the case since the word "small" appears more than once.

BTW, I've lived in the DFW nearly all my life... NOT ONCE have I ever heard someone say Dallas had a small skyline. Or a small anything for that matter.

I do wish there were more talls, but true, I wouldn't call the skyline small.

I have to say San Francisco because you can actually see the urban structure outside of the skyscrapers. I think thats much more interesting than just a bunch of tall buildings surrounded by suburbs.

Dallas' skyline isn't small by any means especially when you throw Uptown & Victory Park into the mix.

Sure it ain't on New York City's level, but very few cities are.

Dallas has some of the tallest buildings in Texas & the Southern US.

Dallas over SF. No skyline more over rated than SF, just a bunch of ugly boxes built to survive earthquakes, little more.
