WTH are you talking about?

Once you have posted a photo on any of the city data forums, it will not allow you to post it again. When you go to upload it, the message says "you have already posted this photo in the thread "XYZ etc".

So once you post a pic in another thread, you can never post it again. It's really a silly rule.

I voted for JC, even though I think the buildings are a little too far apart.


P.S. Feels good to post on City-Data after a 4-month hiatus!

Newark's skyline is pretty good for a mid-sized city, but in my opinion it lacks a signature tower, and it also lacks significant height. JC's skyline has the Goldman Sachs tower, which is 800 feet tall, and people know/recognize that building. Many NYers even know what it is. Also, JC's skyline includes the Statue of Liberty, although NY technically owns it...it's still closer to JC's skyline, and so is therefore part of it.

I love the JC skyline, but I still voted for Newark.

I'm just a sucker for old, historic skyscrapers such as the National Newark Building. Newark, really has a nice dense skyline, and it is a nice example of a typical Northeast city: An urban Downtown core with historic art deco buildings playing an important part.

the National Newark & Essex Bldg. on Broad is the signature tower
