50 Tallest buildings in the U.S. - Discussion and Encyclopedia Article. Who is 50 Tallest buildings in the U.S.? What is 50 Tallest buildings in the U.S.? Where is 50 Tallest buildings in the U.S.? Definition of 50 Tallest buildings in the U.S.. Mean
Did you not read any of the posts?, I think everybody knows Chicago is all the other cities combined, so it's not really part of the discussion.

1. Detroit: overall variety, quality and massing.
2. Minneapolis: Height and quantity
3. Cleveland: Terminal Tower alone is one of the best skyscrapers in the Midwest and would make a suitable partner to Wrigley and Tribune.
4. Kansas City: underrated. Quality architecture.

Anyways, after getting sidetracked from a mod, I agree with FashionGuy.

St. Paul is a legit city in it's own right. It's skyline doesn't look to big from a distance because it sits in a valley from the river.
I think he was referring to my "non bickering" well I can't really explain how badly that wasn't bickering. If I don't agree that Chicago has the best skyline is the best than I'm trolling?
Than why be on the internet then? I might as well just pretend I love Chicago then. Yea how about I just give Chicago posters a big wet one, and say how much I love there skyline, and there city. Hmm....how about me and Chicago make sweet love. Mmm Chicago yea baby, I love your skyline. Darn Kansas City sucks. Mmm maybe i'm not so trolling now. Now are the mods my biggest fan? Give me a break man! Freedom of expression is a fine line when it's not your opinion.

Seriously, I get what you're saying. Mods can be extremely annoying. They should go get rid of the 100th thread that is San Diego Vs. Miami or
'___ Skyline vs ___ skyline thread'

Completely agree with you. I see more of the same threads/unnecessary threads all over the place. But I try to bring a different comparison and get modded all day.

Columbus has a decent skyline. The arts deco "LeVeque Tower" is a prominent feature, alongside the newer and more modern skyscrapers that were built from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Columbus is nice, as is KC. I never knew KC's was that big. I'm going to KC later this summer to see Royals Vs. Twinnies in the 2nd best stadium in the MLB (Kauffman, behind Target Field, lol). Seriously though, I'm pumped to check out KC!

But... I still think St. Paul has a legit skyline, on the same page as Columbus and KC.
