Dallas has an impressive night skyline.

Houston has an impressive day skyline/s.

yep.. Dallas does a decent job at making up for their lack of size and numbers with all the flashy lights.

To be clear, I was not saying that I didn't like Conan O'brien himself. I was saying I didn't like that light display, which is why I said the Conan.

I've always felt that Dallas' downtown is sleeker. We have more height, but the architecture leaves a lot to be desired. Things are getting better, though.

Yeah I agree with all of this. Dallas has the sleekness advantage and looks better at night, while Houston has the size advantage, the numbers advantage, the daytime advantage, and imo the architecture advantage (not a big fan of specific Dallas buildings - Reunion Tower absolutely irks me.)

At night though? Those lights are amazing - point blank. They did an excellent job.

I think you're both being petty. Only 4 or 5 buildings worth talking about? Please.
