So do cities in the South or anywhere else, who consider themselves a big city. No matter how great the city they wouldn't want to be known as a Southern city, haha. I don't care if it is in the North or South anyway. It's kind of ridiculous.
But there's still a difference. With the exception of South Florida, most people in the lower Southern states, even in the larger cities, still overwhelmingly identify as Southern. DC is in a transition zone geographically and other ways, so it makes sense that it doesn't wholly identify with either the South or the North. As a matter of fact, that's the only reason why the city even exists.
DC is not Southern. According to a UNC poll published about 2 decades ago only 7% of residents considered it Southern. Even regardless of what the residents think the city has been decidedly Northern culturally and politically for at least the past 100 years.
LORD!!!! first it was the Atlanta airport ,people saying that it really isnt the worlds buisiest if you take away connecting flights. Now its Atlanta doesnt have a supertall because it has a antenna and its not apart of the actually building because theres no offices there etc At the end of the day Atlanta has the tallest building outside of NYC and Chicago. .... I guess Atlanta cant take the title for anything huh
The Bank of America Plaza has an architectural roof height of 933ft, with a 90ft. spire jammed on top of that. Doesn't quite qualify as a "supertall" in my view.

So the new Tokyo Sky Tree won't count as a "supertall," since it's mostly just an antenna? The title of this thread is "Super Tower," not "Super Building."
Freestanding needles and spires with observation decks tend to fall into their own special category. Structures like the CN Tower, the Ostankino Tower, and so on. They aren't skyscrapers, though. They are usually just observation decks suspended on a thin platform.

I assume you feel the same way about the Chrysler Building?

"Jammed on top" tells everyone that you have some kind of weird animosity towards this building. I'm pretty sure that no one involved in the planning or construction of BOA Plaza jammed anything anywhere. I was working across the street from the site at the time of it's construction, and I watched a helicopter delicately place the spire onto the top of the building.

It doesnt matter what your view is its already considered A supertall by people that do matter and its in national rankings as 3rd tallest building outside NY and CHI.
