I love the Chrysler, but the New York Genereal Electric Building is also pretty cool... Especially at night.

One of my favorites is the OLD Metropolitan Life Building on Madison Square Park. At the time it was built in 1909 it was the tallest building in the world. This building will be 100 years old soon!!!

It's especially beautiful at night, with the most bright, brilliant crown lighting in the City (it appears more brightly lit than the ESB to me). The colors lit atop this building, and the illuminated gold crown atop the New York Life building two doors down look magnificent together, especially while taking an evening stroll through Madison Square Park.

In Cleveland the best skyscraper is probably the Terminal Tower.The Key Tower is nice at night,and its the biggest building in C-Town but there is nothing real special about it.Theres also alot of smaller buildings in Cleveland that are real nice looking too.

pretty much if you live in a metro area, I think you can consider the whole area "your city" Whether it be another suburb or the center city area.

You won't hear any argument from me.

I've said that Houston doesn't have any beautiful skyscrapers, but I guess that these could be an exception.

Especially since I'm crazy about Art Deco and foreign architecture:
