The second "Bridgeport skyline" photo is actually of New Haven. Might want to change that.

Also, the selection of photos by the OP of Stamford's skyline doesn't does justice to this city.

I gottqa go with Hartford with the iconic Travelers Tower, City Place, Hartford 21, Constitution Plaza, the Phoenix Boat Building and the new Connecticut Science Center's "flying carpet" roof. By far the most interesting.

I really am not thrilled with the new apartment towers going up in Stamford now. They look sort of like the drab buildings of Co-Op City in the Bronx IMHO. You would think with the money being spent they would try and make them more aestheticly pleasing. They certainly take away from some of the more interesting buildings in Stamford like the inverted pyrimad (old GTE Headquarters) along side of I-95. JMHO, Jay

This^ not sure if you're specifically referring to the one going up on summer street, but that one is particularly ugly IMO.

I am refering to that one and the ones going up in the South End. Someone post some pictures here and I thought, they can't be that ugly. I happened to be down there one day and I was wrong, they are. Jay
