Which midtown bldg is the “Batman building”? I think when people hear that term their first thought is of the building in Nashville.

Technically, the Westin is only the 3rd tallest hotel in the western hemisphere.

The Marriott Hotel in Detroit and the Courtyard/Residence Inn in NYC are both taller.

Bank of America is a landmark? And some random ferris wheel?

Ferris wheels are popular these days but in no way do they make a city great. They are just a miniature theme park at the end of the day. Woo hoo we get to ride around a wheel! Give me a break.

BTW, onto my ignore list you go! Have a Merry Christmas!
The question was of "DFW" land marks, not just Dallas...

You're ignoring me but everyone else can see the same petulance I see from you every time you respond to me.

You won't be missed.

It’s not even a custom built Ferris wheel. It’s a transplanted traveling wheel that came from a Florida beach town. A lot of other cities have these same ones. If we are mentioning Ferris wheels, Dallas has the Texas Star at Fair Park that’s a custom built 216 foot wheel. The tallest in America.

My question is what is the next city to join that list if you accept my premise of just a major, major metropolitan area. Houston? Dallas? Miami? Somewhere else?
Not including Atlanta shows you don't get out much...

My thoughts exactly.

From what I could tell, OP was simply naming random cities as examples to help frame their question.

Right, I've been to ATL quite a bit but I don't look down on anyone who hasn't. Let's be honest, there aren't a lot of cities that you just have to visit in your life lol.
