Flatiron Building : Atlanta versus NYC

Well, according to your previous posts related to Atlanta, pictures aren't "real" proof of anything. You seem to always want more, whatever that may mean.

At any rate, even though Atlanta's Flatiron predates New York's version, there really is no comparison as far as an imposing and impressive neighborhood landmark goes. It's pretty obvious Union Square revolves around and celebrates this iconic landmark - and I love it as much as a native NY'er.

BUT - Atlanta still constructed the first U.S. version, which pretty much shatters the myth that this supposedly sprawling stripmall (LOL!) dominated disgrace of a "real" city has no history or soul.

^ This poll should have had all of the versions included, especially the Toronto one.

The Toronto one is VERY cool. It's probably the shortest one, but also the most Victorian.

I have a framed picture of it in my main bathroom.

Silly Poll.

They are practically the same building from the same architect. One is bigger. One is older.

I voted for Atlanta, but only because too many people do not know about it. In NYC it is a famous building. In Atlanta it is an older building, but only people in Atlanta seem to know about it.
