Whose wall gets to display said medal?

Also -- I think these cities would have mid-rises at best.

Hmmm. I've been to both towns, but don't recall seeing any high-rises or anything even close to that. Those would be awfully out of place.

What do you consider a high rise?

Although there is no precise definition that is universally accepted, various bodies have tried to define what 'high-rise' means:

* Emporis Standards defines a high-rise as "A multi-story structure between 35-100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from 12-39 floors."
* According to the building code of Hyderabad, India, a high-rise building is one with four floors or more, or one 15 meters or more in height.
* The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary defines a high-rise as "a building having many stories".
* The International Conference on Fire Safety in High-Rise Buildings defined a high-rise as "any structure where the height can have a serious impact on evacuation"
* Massachusetts, United States General Laws define a high-rise as being higher than 70 feet (21 m).
* Most building engineers, inspectors, architects and similar professions define a high-rise as a building that is at least 75 feet (23 m) tall.

High rise for a medium city? That would still be a mid-rise.

A one story house doesn't become a high rise just because it's in a small town.

Well, dee936, you must not be aware of what a high rise is.

Going by your logic, if someone has a one-story home in a small town, that person lives in a "high rise"

Put your 5-6 story buildings next to anything in Houston or Dallas and then tell us which one is higher.
