Cleveland actually has the tallest building in the Midwest outside Chicago and Indianapolis is 2nd

It is more famous, but not as recognizable of a building as the capitol is.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. It is a symbol of America to foreigners and a symbol of the American West to Americans. It is easily California's most iconic structure. For a natural one, I'd probably pick Half Dome in Yosemite.

I believe that poster is quoting the movie Fargo.

Texas: The Alamo

I can't really think of a good one for Houston. Maybe the refinery towers or the space shuttle/rockets at NASA.

North Carolina, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

I want to say that New Jersey's most famous landmarks are probably the NJ turnpike and the AC boardwalk. The only buildings that become instantly recognizable when I think of NJ are some of the cottages in and around Cape May. The high rise casinos in Atlantic City are well known as well, but I think I would be lost if they didn't have their names attached to them.

I agree with you 100%. However, in my mind I feel that the Hollywood sign may have the slight edge.
