Last time I checked, LA isn't exactly a perfect urban metropolis, either.

I was just saying that to show that the Reunion tower helps, I'm sure Dallas is not just all boxes. I haven't been there but just from looking at pictures it really looks like that. Not a bad thing, just means that the tower thingy stands outs. But my opinion is obviously wrong

Trust me, there's only one box.

Dude, I see the skyline on a regular basis. The other buildings are not boxes.

Do you see a box?

No, there's no boxes. I already agreed with you, I was just saying that to play around lol

The left side of the skyline looks like the Emerald City, The Reunion Tower must represent the Lollipop Guild. It does look very out of place though, so I voted yes.

it can't be more out of place than the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.

I'm not just picking on Dallas... I think the similar incarnation in Shanghai looks just as ugly.

Looks like something you'd find at an adult boutique.

I LOVE the Dallas skyline, esp. at night. I've always like Reunion tower, I just wish it was taller. The green neon (BofA??) is still one of my favorite buildings in the US.

Ugly... no?

Tacky... you could say.

70's.... YES.

Look, it's a different era building. And out of all the 70's buildings I've seen, I'd say that the Reunion is the best. That doesn't say much, but hey, it's still better than a box.

And I couldn't imagine Dallas WITHOUT it.
