Please explain? If you don't know what it is, say that as opposed to calling it "bull". To clarify, Orlando's skyline is "all over the place" to me. Yes it's pretty, but Tampa's tallest towers are more centralized which is more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes, but to each his own.

Okay...



A waterfront is more then just an "excuse" for why a place is more desirable to someone. And a lake is no waterfront.

I respect both skylines.
I think Orlando's is better.


I'm convinced Orlando has the better buildings as well.

I know what it means guy. Height, yeah sure, nothing new. You feel like orlando Skyline is all over the place, respect. I feel the same about Tampa's skyline overall. But because our tallest tower is not centralized I see what you mean.

Same way I feel. I personally like Orlando's buildings much better I guess because they FIT the small skyline. I mean they are different. We do not have any dark buildings (ALL Black) like most cities so i think it is just personal preference.

I think the dark building in Tampa gives the skyline character. It they were all the same light colors, it would be boring.

These two cities are actually quite similar. What distances Tampa from Orlando is the fact that it is more historic, larger, and more relevant culturally. Demographically, they're about the same.

Could you explain why you think Tampa is more historic and more relevant culturally than Orlando?

Tampa became a city in 1887
Orlando became a city in 1885
