Whats the most famouse building in your City/State? (downtown, south, metro)

Waco: The Alico

In Texas, it's probably the Alamo or the Texas Capitol Building.

It's difficult to say which is the most famous in Nebraska. Outside of Omaha, probably the Nebraska State Capitol.

I would say there are a few in Omaha that people would consider for different reasons:

The Woodmen Tower
The First National Bank Tower
The Brandeis Building
St. Cecilia's Cathedral
The Desert Dome

Here are a couple others in terms of historic buildings in Omaha:

I was going to say Suntrust Tower. I mean it is unique and I do not care which way you decide to sneak up on Orlando's Skyline, you have to see that building.

It's a unique building and for now, still our city's tallest so for me it's most famous. I think the locals and tourists would disagree on this one though, which proves there really are 2 Orlandos.

Good point. Tourist would choose either two you posted, I most certainly chose SunTrust building in my mind. You cant help but choose if you have been waking up to the same tallest building for years. I also remember Orlando's sun trust building more easily than any other sun-trust building in the skyline of the state of Florida as well as the Bank of America building with the stair shape.

We sure do have some unique buildings in our skyline just don't try to convince anyone in that City vs forum that it's better than Tampa. I'm actually glad that our most recognized buildings are all in the attractions area. It would be a shame to have tourists infiltrating downtown Orlando like they do in Chi & NY to see the Willis (Sears) Tower & the Empire State Building. I like keeping our downtown a secret so again the most famous buildings in Orlando are as follows:

If you know the history of these two restaurant concepts then you know there is some truth to my rant
