Very funny, KidPhilly! San Jose has over 3 times as many as Wilmington's. It does, however, resemble Philadelphia's skyline and it even seems more on the picture than Philly's. I've never been to Philadelphia, though. What would I know. It's just from what I've seen.
Tallest residential tower in New England, the worlds only two sided building, had the 5th tallest building in the nation when it was contructed and the tallest in New England until the 80's, great density, history etc.
What is it in San Jose's water that makes their posters so incredibly ruined?
I think a lot of it actually the work of one single poster with a few different screen names. Why they've embarked on this San Jose vs. the World crusade, we'll never know.
Then you occasionally get other Bay Area posters who are just kind of sticking up for their region. And just for reference, I grew up 40 minutes south of San Jose and while I have some nostalgic fondness for San Jose, I'm pretty realistic about a place that's improved but still has a ways to go.

I honestly thought that was against the TOS, but yet this San Jose poster keeps coming back.
It does? I've walked around it for years, and haven't see the other two. It's been designated the worlds first two sided building by the National Register of Historic Places.
"The building was designed by architect Max Abramovitz of Harrison & Abramovitz. The contractor was George A. Fuller Company. Groundbreaking was in 1961, with construction complete in November 1963.
The 13-story tower has only two curved sides, in an unusual and striking shape variously termed an elliptic lenticular cylinder or lenticular hyperboloid. Its height is 212 feet (65 meters); it measures 225 feet on its long axis, and 87 feet wide at its maximum width. The ends point east and west, with sides facing north and south."

Yeah...apparently you didn't look at the top or bottom.
lol
I don't think those are considered sides.
