Give it 3 or 4 years and Austin will pass Atlanta though.
You should take that act on the road.

There’s only one building with green lights.

Austin - Smaller but it's buildings speak. Kind of reminds me of Charlotte very new and very shiny.
I can see that for Houston, but not Atlanta. It's much more like Dallas than Houston in that regard, at least in terms of decorative tops.

Yes, and it's HUGE. What's with all of the neon?

Yeah, I'm not sure I would say Atlanta's buildings don't stand out. It has a very distinct skyline, and part of that appeal, to me, is precisely how some of the buildings stand out, versus Houston's Tetris-style blocks.

It’s LED the entire skyline changes depending on the holiday or occasion.

In a way I suppose the skylines reflect the cities themselves.

Houston is a big powerful city, but not one that cares about its image. The skyline reflects that.

Dallas and Atlanta are much more focused on their image. Their skylines are more flashy which reflect that.

When I saw it, it was green. I see that they changed that. I still think it's ugly and excessive, but whatever... If it weren't for that, I'd find it much more attractive.

Here’s a few of pics of the different colors during the following holidays or special occasions. These are still pics and they don’t display the way the lights flash and change.
