Memorial City/Energy Corridor is starting to get a skyline. I noticed that coming back in last night on that CRAZY HIGH beltway ramp. I hate that thing.

The only ones that I consider to be a skyline are Downtown, Uptown, and TMC. The rest are just a few buildings in an office park. Not enough buildings to be considered a skyline. The Energey Corridor has their buildings spaced so far apart from each other. Greenspoint only has a few buildings that are tall enough to really even be noticed. Same goes for Greenway Plaza and Westchase.

I'm pretty fond of the Uptown skyline and how it stretches out along Post Oak.

I love Downtown's skyline coming from 45 South as you are approaching it head on in the early a.m. just as the sun is starting to hit the bldgs in that dawn type reflection.

I love Uptown's skyline when it's early in the morning (sunny, too) and you are going north on 610. Impressive, especially with the sun hitting the buildings.

Downtown by far is number one in my book.

The Westchase/Memorial Skyline is booming as well around the tollway, westheimer, and I-10 area especially at sunset.

I'm not going to vote, because I don't have a "favorite", but I do like how TMC's is so so dense & is the fastest growing skyline in the city.

The one building downtown looking towards the galleria looks like a mayan temple.
