Well toot your own horn when they are completed like Trump Tower. It's easy to see why new yorkers are blind because all of the coverage that went with the 9/11 tragedy and to this day that single point in history clouds their judgement. Chicago was not directly involved so they have a more objective view point.
Do you know what will end this thread?
Chicago created the skyscraper. 'nuff said. without chicago, there is no new york. at least not like it looks today.
no thats not how its gonna end. This is how. We beat you at your own game
Listen chump, its called an OPINION. I have mine, you have yours. If you'd PAY ATTENTION, Im not saying that the Sears Tower is better looking than the ESB, because its not. What Im saying is that the Sears Tower is just as infamous as the ESB, which I will ALWAYS say that it is. You CANNOT go anywhere in this country and find someone who doesnt know what the Sears Tower is. Mention the name and everyone will know it. Guaranteed. Same goes for the ESB.
They might know the name but not the location. There are a lot of dumb*****es in America.
So what? It's water under (Brooklyn) bridge. There are more pound for pound skyscrapers in New York than in Chicago.
There are very, very few who would agree with you on this one.
Lets go by completed skyscrapers (nobody knows the future of proposed skyscrapers).
NYC:
Empire State Building
Chrysler Building
Trump Building
American International Building
Conde Nast Building
Citigroup Center
Time Square Tower
Chicago:
Hancock Tower
Sears Tower
Trump Building
One Museum Park
Two Prudential Plaza
311 South Wacker
900 North Michicagn
Park Tower
340 on the Park
United Building
You can argue mid-rise, or residential superiority all you want. But when it comes to skyline quality NYC does not compare.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

^^ LOL, ok... When you can provide me proof that it's just "slabs" then I might believe you. That's exactly what the Empire state building is, along with the Chrysler building...That makes me laugh.
If you could read a little better, you might figure out I was talking about PROJECTS. You know, like Alphabet City and other such lovely scars on the NYC landscape.

What year were those built? It seems like it's been since the 1920's since New York city built a skyscraper with any relevance.
Exactly! They keep putting up cartoon-looking crap, like that hideous W at Times Square.
That kind of garbage doesn't fly in Chicago - they have design standards.
