KE111691,

I'd stop with the pictures. There really not helping. Boringhams skyline is just kind of weak. You can post pic after pic but the result is the same. It's nice to know you think of Boringham as superior, but unfortunately not everyone does. Boringham looks like any city of 100,000-to a 150,000. Definately nothing special. Very dull. I would stop posting pics at least. Your own words of conviction might help you more. The more pics you show, the more you are striking down your own defense.

Furthermore, you are showing pics of different parts of your skyline, which show one or two buildings. How is that a skyline?

my question was how is it the case if birmingham is boring then every skyline is boring? you make it sound like birminghams skyline is the epitome of skylines, but in reality its far from it. i dont see how posting random pics of birmingham (which further shows how generic it is btw) answered the question.

It could be a simple case of "love is blind".

It could be like a parent holding a blind eye to their wacked child.

It could be an overabundance of civic pride.

It could be our little friend is having vision problems. Which can be corrected at any Optic center.

Or it could be denial. Which I hear is a pretty river!!!

He apparently wasn't going to answer that question, so I thought I would help out.....

I am not stunning y'all. I'm posting pictures just like people would and have of Buffalo. If they are boring, you don't have to make a big deal......so what if Birmingham's skyline is boring? Both of these cities are nice cities with nice skylines! I'm not going to go back and forth with you guys because you all are so childish.

The Riverchase Galleria is a skyline; in fact it is the world's longest and largest "mall" skyline.
