Well, I was going to vote for one of the Dallas towers until I saw Frost Bank in Austin. I don't know that I've seen it before, at least it wasn't there the last time I was in Austin which was a looooong time ago.

For me personally, it will always be Reunion Tower. I have been to many concerts at the attached Reunion Arena and enjoyed many a dinner in Reunion Tower.

When I have driven into Dallas, its the one thing that tells me I am there.

These are all very nice shots in all the cities. I can't wait until the completion of the ones in Austin in the next few years.
