We have several "skyscrapers" (http://www.syedfaisal.com/Photo_Albums/NewHouse/LakeDillonPano01.jpg - broken link) (in the literal meaning of the word!) where I live. They're all pretty nice in my opinion.
The Minneapolis skyline is dominated by 3 skyscrapers. The IDS Center, Wells Fargo Center, and First Bank Building. The Wells Fargo Center is very beautiful at night because it has a golden glow to it which really makes the skyline look great at night. The First Bank Building is also a favorite of mine because it's circular and has a half crown on top. It's one of those two as far as the best. Take your pick. I guess the IDS Center is just barely the tallest but I find it to be the least attractive of the three.
None of the skyscrapers in my city fit your criteria of being at least 400', so I can't participate. Perhaps when the New Yorkers take over Scranton, we'll have a REAL skyline!

For St. Louis i'd definitely vote the Metropolitan Square, followed closely by the Thomas Eagleton Courthouse and the AT&T Center. These three can be seen clearly up to 15 miles away in places like Alton. Of course there is also the Arch but that is more of a monument. Key Tower and Terminal Tower I'd say are the two best for Cleveland. Key Tower with the help of its roof is almost 1000 feet tall. Terminal Tower is just an incredible building...I once read that 32 buildings were razed to build it The BP Tower is also very nice...I really like the "Big Red"
Does a 5-story hospital count as a sky scraper?? LOL!! That's the tallest building in my town.
LOL - I always wonder about these threads - "tallest skyscraper in your city", "picture of the best building in your city", "most famous people born in your city" - unless nearly everyone on this board actually LIVES in the city they mention, the question isn't being answered. My nearest city is NYC, but I don't post pictures of it, mention famous ppl, etc, because I DON'T LIVE THERE.
My tallest building is a 2 story doctor's complex, lol.
Does everyone actually LIVE in the city they post about?
