The bridge has a good view, but going west in Woodall Rogers before going into the tunnel is the best, imo.
Yes!!....Especially if you are coming south on 75 on the I-35 ramp to Woodall Rodgers.

I think Dallas's skyline is better looking than Houston's mainly because of its individual architecture. As i stated earlier, there are too many old buildings sitting vacant and idle in downtown Houston. This alone kind of pisses me off!

Houston's skyline may still be bigger, but Dallas's looks better! End of story

The only way this is ever going to be settled is for you all to get together, make a circle, get out a measuring ruler(or tape), and see who is the biggest....once and for all! Then, the loser can head on down to their nearest sports car dealership and purchase an auto, that'll air their deflated ego back up. PEACE

Nothing has to be settled....This is all about the OP's opinion that houstonians didnt like. Nobody from Houston is allowed to give Dallas props....for anything!!!.

More insanely repetitive, dull Dallas vs Houston threads.... it's like twin brothers fighting over almost non-noticeable differences.

Guess what guys, the differences are so tiny.... yes, even in the skyline! One is not vastly superior to the other.

Some days, I am just so dismayed these are as far apart as they are. If Houston and Dallas were combined, it would rival LA, Chicago, and start getting close to NYC even perhaps! Instead they are hours apart, so constantly try to one-up each other....

No..Thats how it seems. You have some houstonians that will give props when they're due but other houstonians scold them for it. This thread is a perfect example.

The best view (to me) is coming from the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge to Woodall Rodgers. It's a sea of skyscrapers (kinda)

Here's the video

I like this view also...I was just agreeing with trae....and that tunnel is actually an experience in itself.
