for Detroit it would be the Comerica tower or the guardian buiding. the guardian's lobby alone is spectacular, with the gold ceiling and the giant michigan map. comerica tower is nicer outside, but also very business type in side.
I have an advantage in this category -- I live in NYC!
I have two faves. Most beautiful here has to be the Chrysler building. And although I do love the Empire State building, I think the Woolworth building downtown is prettier.

The Woolworth is gorgeous. I've always enjoyed that building.

Oh yes! You are very lucky! I have seen NY 2 times I always in December because I love Christmas period) and....It's very wonderful!!!!
In Italy...uhm...nothing
We haven't a beautiful skycraper
I usually consider Baltimore or washington 'my city' even though i live 45mins away, and Baltimore is the only one with skyscrapers, so my favorite skyscraper in baltimore is without a doubt, bank of america
For Pittsburgh I'd say The University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning. Being isolated from downtown it stands alone and is a very interesting building. I've always found the nationality rooms (rooms devoted to different cultures) fascinating as well. To read more aobut them The Nationality Rooms - Welcome!

Also at 535 feet it is the tallest education building in North America and 2nd tallest in the world.

Yes you do, citychik! The Chrysler is widely regarded as the best looking skyscraper of the classic 20th century era. I also enjoy the story of them sneaking the uppermost spire up the interior of the structure and poking it out of the top during the end of its construction. Nothing beats that Art Nouveau. The Woolworth was tall, I think, for so long, and the Empire State topped it a few months later but, the Chrysler is the **it. That is, for us fans of architecture. The top really says a lot. In my hometown, The Century Towers. These are twin, triangular towers whose points face each other. They're plain but elegant at the same time. Topped out in '76, I still think the're the most beautiful in L. A. Here in Vegas, The Bellagio. The fountains are their own attraction, but it's not a skyscraper.
LOL - I always wonder about these threads - "tallest skyscraper in your city", "picture of the best building in your city", "most famous people born in your city" - unless nearly everyone on this board actually LIVES in the city they mention, the question isn't being answered. My nearest city is NYC, but I don't post pictures of it, mention famous ppl, etc, because I DON'T LIVE THERE.
My tallest building is a 2 story doctor's complex, lol.
Does everyone actually LIVE in the city they post about?
It's still your city, though.
