Just to piggy back on my earlier thread, with the big city skyscrapers, here's the "mid-sized to small" town version.

Waco

Alico Building


Arlington (I'm counting it as a small town this time...Only because I didn't include it in the last one.)

Six Flags Over Texas Tower and Rides (they all count too. All as one...)


New Cowboys Stadium (2009...also counts, becuase it will be one of the tallest in Ag Town)

Tyler

Tyler Town Center and Plaza Tower


Laredo

Laredo National Bank


Rio Grand Plaza


Midland

Bank of America Building (sorry, couldn't get a better pic....)

Whoops. Missed Amarillo, Abilene, and Lubbock! It's okay, I just checked other.

I like the American National Bank in Amarillo (If that is still the name of it--bank's names change more often than I change my socks.)

I like the Bank of America, Enterprise, Building in Abilene.

And I really like the old Santa Fe Building in Amarillo. If I only could figure out how to post pictures on here, I would post some of these.

Okay, here is a link to the Enterprise Bank Building in Abilene. There are three views. We have a few more high-rises, but they are not in the same area of town.

And the building on the left--the tallest--is American Bank in Amarillo

Now for the Abilene Skyline. I will quit posting at this point. I just learned how to putin pictures! The Enterprise Building is not in the picture. It is on the other side of the tracks running through the pictures about 7 blocks from the tracks.

Yep, the Bank of America Enterprise Bldg. in Abilene gets my vote. The exterior is attractive but the interior is really, really nice!

Great pics, James!!!

Yeah I know.... When I think of highrises, I just don't really think of smaller towns.
