I'm just going to pass over Sacramento for obvious reasons and anwer for San Francsisco, since I was born there. Many people will probably say the Transamerica Pyramid, and it's great looking in my opinoin, but my favorite is the Bank of America Building. I think it's a great integration of modern architecture, while still remembering the famous bay windows of San Francisco.



I also spend about half my time in San Diego, where no historic buildings qualify for skyscrapers. It also might be strange to put a building that's occupied by a hotel at least in part on the list... but since it's pretty much the way it has to be in San Diego, I would have to say the Emerald Plaza is the nicest looking, especially at night.

There's only one skyscraper in this entire country and it's called Turning Torso in Malmö wich is close to my town.
Here it is:

I think it's pretty cool.

I love the Art deco skyscraper in Buffalo that is City Hall - the largest in the nation -







I have to say though, that our Rand Building (1928) in Buffalo is very impressive too and is a tight match between City Hall and this one, but considering it was the inspiration for the Empire State Building (1929) in NYC, I think it's really cool:

I'm not sure about Chicago. I've always loved Park Tower

The Bank of America Center in Houston is my favorite skyscraper

Its kind of hard to say one when there is so many beautiful skyscrapers in NY so im just going to say GE building/ Rockefeller Center.

it looks a little out of place, though.

I'm kind of partial to the Wrigley Building.
