Did you not just post a tower that is suppose to go up in Downtown Dallas? He's doing the exact same thing you did.

I totally agree. The view is...forget about it! This isn't fair to Dallas. If you just count downtowns...Houston would still destroy Dallas. But you can put Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Big D together and still not have the magnitude of all the Houston skylines. Let's see here downtown, uptown, Greenway plaza, West Energy coridor, westchase, greenspoint, the medical center (about to become the 10th largest business center in the US!! our med center alone!!!). Man this is not fair.

You've got to be kidding. Dallas does not have a chance.

































Sorry. I just couldn't get the WHOLE skyline in one pic!

I agree. It's not like we're talking NYC and Chicago here... Houston and Dallas are very similar when compared to cities across the U.S... Dallas' skyline looks better at night, Houston's is taller and looks better during the day. That's all there is to it, really. I'd say comparing Dallas to Houston is like comparing one neighborhood in Chicago to another one, but that isn't fair to Chicago... Neither Dallas nor Houston has even built a building taller than 650ft in over 20 years!! It's just a matter of which 80's skyline you like better.
