The Cira Centre (though I admit I had to look up the name of the building). For those who don't want to, it's the glass skyscraper just North of 30th Street Station. Cira Centre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love it's angles, simplicity, and cool way it's lit at night.

I think they're building another one of those too!

I really like the buildings that made up Philadelphia's skyline before the 60s although some of the newer towers are pretty cool too.

This was always my favorite for as long as it lasted..... Meridian Plaza office building (For newcomers .... It had a major fire and was then demolished.....Ritz carlton condos are there now)




Now it's this one..... Rittenhouse condominiums and hotel. I like the very complex and intricate facades of both buildings.

City Hall from the outside, especially since it got the exterior stone cleaned and scrubbed.

30th Street Station from the inside. In hindsight, have never been inside City Hall.

The Art Museum should be on this list somewhere, too.

You should visit City Hall. There's some pretty amazing parts on the inside as well.

Yes, City Hall on the inside is filthy (in terms of the vermin -City Council - that work there).
