My Top 5 Buildings
1. Liberty Bridge (not really a building )

Looking for both residents of the upstate and out-of-towners to get a better perspective!

My favorite building would probably have to be one of the new ones at ICAR. Not sure of the name of it, but it's the black (or really dark) building that, to me, resembles something Frank Lloyd Wright would build. Here's a photo of it during construction from an older thread (i believe photo is by gman).
