Sky-line:
1. The line along which the surface of the earth and the sky appear to meet; the horizon.
2. The outline of a group of buildings or a mountain range seen against the sky.

skyline - definition of skyline by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Technically, a building as low as our stadiums could be part of a skyline, but at this point you'd just be splitting hairs; especially when you're having to post aerial photos to prove a point. All that the Toyota Center contributes to the actual skyline is a short box with a slightly protruding roof.

There's nothing that blows you out of the water. Look, after driving for hours and seeing nothing but grass, trees and the occasional cow...Dallas will look impressive.

I enjoy Dallas when I visit for sure...but am always glad to come back to big ole Houston.

LOL.
Typical "the taller the buildings and the bigger the city, the better it is," nonsense coming from a NEW YORKER.

Bigger is not always better. If you can realize that, then you can look at Houston and Dallas a lot more objectively instead of just picking Houston simply because it's bigger with taller buildings.

Uptown Dallas doesn't have buildings crammed this close together.

I wish I had a picture of the Southwestern Medical District. We're currently adding 3.8 million sq ft of space.

Does it have a mall attached to it via skywalk?
