As far as the Central Ave. Corridor is concerned, there are many photos one can find using Google images. It is a great tool.
Really. Tell me something that I don't know. Nice passive-aggressive, condescending dig at me though...

Oh, that wasn't meant to be a dig at you; however, I can't control how other people take comments.

Well thank you for that. I was just saying that most people only think of the Phoenix skyline right around the Sky Harbor Area, when there is more than one skyline in the city.

Lets be real here. DC doesn't have the worst skyline because it's not in the Sunbelt and it has history. If Phoenix ore any other Sunbelt city was like that, they would EASILY get the worst skyline. I love DC, but it's the TRUTH!!!!

When you speak of the DC skyline...would that be the identical 12 story building on the left or the identical 12 story building on the right?

There is some lovely architecture, both homes up in the DuPont area and the office buildings around Federal Triangle, but no skyline to speak of.

Exactly, I love DC to death but it doesn't even have a skyline. I will say that its architecture is breathtaking (to me) from street level.

Lol, DC has plenty of tall buildings going up but its sort of like a Plateau (like in between Midtown Manhattan & Lower Manhattan) so it doesn't really show.

No skyline is actually a blatant lie. Buildings do touch the sky in DC

I think Tulsa Omaha and Orlando have better skylines than Phoenix.
