Well put it like this

I have had some good days. I had some hills to climb. I have had some weary days and some sleepless night. But when I look around and I think things over all of my good days out way my bad days. I wont complain.

I guess it'll look better when it's actually finished, but for now I just don't see it as a "Dallas Skyscraper".

Heard that song all the time, growing up. Guess where the man that sings it is from.

Those two buildings are my favorite buildings. If they weren't so hidden Houston's skyline wouldnt be so dull and gray. That's one development that Houston did right. I love em!!!

Houston does look like the pan handle of Florida with all the pine trees & palms.

That 2nd pic looks exactly like one of the back roads you take to get to Panama City Beach in Ebro, FL.

I fail to see what's so magnificent about the Enron building. It looks like your typical 1980s glass tower. Houston has more than its fair share of these.

Despite being short, the Niels Esperson building is one of the greatest skyscrapers in the entire south. The opposite of the Enron building.

Looks similar to the Museum Tower going up in DT Dallas to me....
