LOL, what's so appealing about NYC's skyline? Is this a joke?
And in any case, skylines don't make a city. Of course, New York has the best skyline and is the best city, but Paris is 10 notches above Chicago, as is London.. both of which are not known for skylines.
I also find it amusing that you're under the impression that someone such as myself, who spends time in elite cities such NYC, Paris, London would somehow feel "threatened" by that frigid, blue-collar, cultural wasteland of a city in the middle of the Midwest. What's next, am I "threatened" by Milwaukee? Listen, Mr. Spire, I can go/live wherever I want. I don't feel threatened by cities. I like cities (good ones at least). Unfortunately, Chicago is and will never be on my radar. K?
Some of you truly put a smile on my face.
You definitely have zero idea of what Chicago is or else you would know its a very white collar city.. Why do you have to try to bring down Milwaukee now. Dementor, you really need to calm down with your hatred of the Midwest.
You're definitely Dementor, same old arguments that don't make sense. This thread is about Skylines so of course we would be talking about how Skylines make a city. You don't spend time in any of those cities. If you're going to try and prove a point, at least use valid arguments instead of a bunch of lies.
But NYC only has a few buildings everyone is familiar with. They are: The Empire State Building, The Chrysler Building, and The Flatiron. That's really about it. Don't say the WTC because they aren't there anymore.
You want evidence for Chicago having the best architecture?
Here you go. It says, and I quote:"Architectural firm RMJM Hillier put together a survey of the best cities in the U.S. for design. The results, released June 25, put Chicago at the top of the list, with New York a close second"
Ouch. That one hurt didn't it? It's more credible than your Wikipedia, and its by an Architectural Firm. I'm pretty sure they know what they are talking about.
Are you kidding me. You should know buildings like the GE Building(Rockefeller Center), Metlife building(s), Seagram Building, Trump Building(40 Wall Street), Trump World Tower, Woolworth Building, New York Life Building, Manhattan Municipal Building, World Financial Towers, etc thats just skyscrapers ill be happy to name low rise buildings. Also you proved me right because if they stated its a close second than how can there be just a few now.
Chicago is blow NYC on an international level and will probably remain that way as long as NYC exist. The fact that you said Chicago is below L.A shows you are greatly threatened by the city. Let's be serious. L.A is barley above Houston.
Chicago > NYC in terms of their skylines. Please explain to me what's so appealing about NYC's skyline, I'm dying to know.
Yep this has to be a joke cause if i take it from your point of view and i showed information that chicago skyline is better but it showed NYC at a close second obviously its appealing. Now they might have better architecture but NYC has a better OVERALL skyline.

Probably because you're from NYC. I'm saying the AVERAGE person that could care less about any of this

He's wrong that New York "only has a few". But you were wrong when you said that New York had more architectural gems and was generally seen as a better city for architecture. It's not.
