But otherwise, I like this shot-

[nostyle]

Any Charlotte skyline from the southwest or northeast would be the densest perspective, since Charlotte's skyline is so linear along Tryon. Here's a pic courtesy of South End Square:

[JRQ]

Charlotte is the best night skyline, IMO. Very beautiful.

[pwright1]

[texasboy]

That's a nice picture pwright, but you and I know that is not the most dense angle of downtown Houston. IMO, I think the most dense angle is captured on the northeast side of downtown.

[pwright1]

LOL!! You're right Texasboy. I just had to stick that in there. :) I'll be down there in March. I'll bring my camera of course.

That is a great picture of Houston.

[sleepy]

For Houston, I always thought it was coming up 45 from Hobby, or coming up from that freeway that runs down to Freeport--the South Freeway?

The NorthTex Freeway also has some good angles to it.

BTW--what's with all the canary date palms in that pic? Those things don't handle cold weather that well, and barely survive in New Orleans which has warmer winters than Houston.

Birmingham

Palms are all over the city. They grow real well down here. I guess because of all the humidity from the Gulf of Mexico. Houston is hot as hell.

Palms are all over the city. They grow real well down here. I guess because of all the humidity from the Gulf of Mexico. Houston is hot as hell.

I know that. I lived in New Orleans 25 years, and my wife lived in Houston 10 years.

While other palms were all over the city, canary date palms were rare. They grow in New Orleans--marginally--yet half the pics I see of Houston nowadays have date palms.

Half of them died in New Orleans in 1989 when it got down to 12 degrees, and Houston can get colder than New Orleans.

Wow, this is a great thread. Great shots...Someone should start a thread North America-wide, or globally.

[Velvetj]

nostyle- I agree about the Charlotte night skyline.

Lysd- Those Birmingham shots look great. I don't think I've seen those.

Sleepy- I believe those shots were shot this past winter and those date palms do look a little shabby in that photo, but there are quite a few mature date Palms in Houston and you would be surprised at how many queen palms are in the city now. I was here in 89' which was the last time Houston really had real snow, and some died but on most, the leaves just died off and grew back. I have seen also seen a number old historic photos of Houston and have seen mature date palms in those as well. Rare is not a word I would use when it comes to date palms in Houston, particularly in neighborhoods.

Texas Star- nice shots of Dallas. Just looking at that shot with AA Arena, you can tell that Victory Project/w the W Hotel there is going to look awesome.

That's a fairly standard Charlotte skyline shot (I know exactly where it was taken from...Wilkinson...I have that same damn pic), but it's not the most dense vantage. Again, I'm looking for skyline shots rather than aerials, but if I find a semi-aerial I'll post that too. In the mean time, here's one I like:

Thats one of the best pictures of Detroit ever.

[Nick in Atlanta]

@Streetscapeer: Awesome photos of the Miami area. I love the pan with Key Biscayne in the foreground, Downtown on the left and Miami Beach on the upper right. Looks great. I've never seen a picture of Key Biscayne before. I know it's chock-full of Millionaires and higher.

@James2390: Those aerials of Atlanta are amazing. Is that you that's taking those pics hanging out the Cessna?

@twincities03: The photo of Minneapolis looks great, too. Even Detroit's Downtown looks good, except for the foreground of the picture. The third pic is Vancouver, which always looks good. I couldn't figure out what city you have last, and it looks like a pretty major city. What city is this?

[turbocraig]

Nick in Atlanta: It's Denver, CO. The biggest clue is the Wells-Fargo building about a third of the way over from the right. Because the top curves in at different heights on opposite sides, it kinda looks like an old-timey cash register and therefore has been nicknamed the "cash register building".

I love the Williams Tower, or whatever name it's going by now, but I think Georgia Tech officials would have a problem with it in the middle of their campus. Move it about a mile north and it would look great in Atlantic Center. :)

Also, at about 950 feet tall, I think it would look bigger if it were where you have it placed now. Bank of America is 1,023 feet tall, but it's towering over Williams, and makes it look only about 700 feet tall.

Miami is quite an impressive city, but I'm not crazy about the elevated train tracks. It makes the city look kind of like an amusement park. Like the monorail at Disney World or something.

Ah ah ah... Maybe it should be called Houtlantallas since I do see a building in the picture that belongs to Dallas too (the one with a hole in the top).

But my favorites are Miami for the color and architecture. Dallas has the best architecture in Texas (although I always hated that X light at night on one of the building. Creeps me out -- too gothic for me but that's my opinion).

But Houston is far more dense and urban than Dallas. Can someone take a picture of Houston's downtown alongside with the Galleria area, Greenway Plaza, and if possible, the Medical Center (one that has not been photoshopped) -- maybe by going on Westpark Tollway (on the ramp to 59 or just straight on)? That would be a mighty good picture of Houston's density.

I like this pic of Houston that shows the density of the downtown skyline in the background.

My favorite picture of Houston -- it looks more urban than Dallas' picture using the similar angle. Houston's definitely my favorite city in the South.

[fanofterps]

Is it nicer than Atlanta? Do people live downtown? I find Atlanta suburban sprawl or home to the most strip shopping centers and chain stores I have ever seen.

I love that picture of charlotte...its really shows the two dense spheres of downtown...the B of A 'complex' and the First Union/Wachovia 'comlex' on the right.

Actually, the population density of the two is extremely similar. Dallas also has several census tracts that are much more dense than Houston's densest. Skyscrapers do not make for urbanity.

I would say they are both just as bad in general.

No, I'm sorry...the farther you go from any city the denser it will look. Drive into downtown Houston and drive into downtown Dallas...the skylines are quite different. Houston doesn't have a bad skyline. It's actually pretty, but I just feel that the Dallas one is a lil more compact. Either way...no matter how dense the two skylines are...both downtowns suck for what they could be and probably will be.

Charlotte's simply not as big, so the sprawl doesn't go on and on and on the way it does in Atlanta. It is certainly there, though.

Not all that many people are living downtown yet, but the condos are booming and it's really only a matter of time. Especially now that Johnson and Wales has a campus downtown, there's going to be a spike in the amount of resident-oriented services (groceries, etc.) in that area, which should feed the housing market. Right now is probably a good time to buy, as it would seem that prices are about to really start rising.

I think the biggest difference between Charlotte and Atlanta (accounting for the obvious size difference) is that Charlotte has a clear-cut downtown area that converges all the way down to a central intersection and serves as a hub for the city. Atlanta's downtown is sprawled out and disconnected. I really, really hope that never happens to Charlotte (but it might).

Is Charlotte nicer? I guess that depends on how you define "nice".

Atlanta is so much more than Charlotte. They're really not in the same league, as Charlotte is where the Big Peach was about 30 years ago. Charlotte is pretty much a company town (banks!).

Charlotte doesn't have a downtown -- it's Uptown.

I guess in your world that population numbers don't count. Pairing a city with a metro of what, 5 million to 1.5 Million? Of course you can brag and boast about Atl when its compared to cities this size.


Your assumption-
Charlotte isn't a city; its just a meeting ground for companies; and has no downtown, but an Uptown. Big difference.

I did not mean to offend. As an attorney, I guess I do that sometimes without trying. And I do boast about my hometown sometimes, but that wasn't my intent here.

As I replied to the question about which city is nicer, I attempted to address the questioner's reference to Atlanta's sprawl. It is, in part, because Atlanta is so much larger, and according to the numbers you provide, it is more than three times larger. Yes, Atlanta is spread out, and someday Charlotte probably will be too. IMO these are not necessarily bragging rights for any city.

Now as far as the assumptions that you think I am making: I never implied that I thought Charlotte is not a city. In fact, it is obviously a vibrant one. Perhaps you were irritated by my bluntness with the comparison to Atlanta thirty years ago, but I need only point to the population figures you provided to back up my assertion. I know that the population of metro Atlanta thirty years ago was, well, 1.5 million.

As for the reference to having no downtown: I was only using the proper name for Charlotte's CBD. Really, don't you think it is silly that a city would go to such extreme lengths just to avoid calling its core "downtown"?

I have one more point to make, and it's not necessarily directed at you. I think civic boosterism is fun sport. However, there seems to be a recognizable minority on this board who appear to "live and die" by what is communicated here. In their attempts to inflate the importance or perceived desirability of a place, they make up "facts" and make flippant comparisons between dissimilar places -- all in an effort to get somebody to say, "Your place is the greatest." Having said that, I enjoy peeking in on this board from time to time, but I would get more out of it if those people used accurate/complete facts and refrained from commentary based on fantasy.

Go to a photo storage website like Photobucket.com, I think. Sign up. Hit Browse and it will look inside your computer's C drive folders. Guide it to the pics you want to show. Submit them. Photobucket.com will give you and [img] link. Copy it and paste it in a post with some narrative that describes what we are looking at.

Just give it a try. If you screw up it's no problem. Just try again.

Also, there is an area on this website that gives pointers on posting pics. But, remember that it's not brain surgery, it just takes a little knowledge and practice. :)

Raleigh's not that bad, particularly considering it wasn't a large city until relatively recently.

Pic 7, that pedestrian mall or street--isn't that where there's some stink between apt/condo owners and nightclubs?

[Raleigh-NC]

Actually, Raleigh still isn't large city, but it is growing fast. The July 2004 estimate brings the city to 333,000 people, with planning juristiction reaching the 360,000 mark.

Picture 7 shows Fayetteville Street Mall, a pedestrian mall that has no nightlife venues whatsoever. There are some condos and apartments, but no stink between residents and nightclubs. You probably read something about Five Points, an area located about a mile North-East of Downtown. There was a major conflict between the residents (NIMBYs) and one entertainment venue in that area, but things have calmed down now.

[texasboy]

Kind of old, from 2001 or 2002. As you can see 5 Houston Center is under construction, Calpine Center is not built, Courthouse is not u/c, 1000 Main is not built, or Hilton Americas. I still thought it was a dense skyline angle of Houston though.

[Justadude]

Raleigh just is what it is. I really hope there isn't a craze there to try and alter their image just to attract urbanites. It's a fairly nice small-mid sized city that's very liveable and has reasonable downtown density and vibe. The push for pro sports there scares me a little because it represents that old bigger-is-better mentality. Let's hope the impending failure of that project knocks some sense into the overzealous boosters.

My favorites of all those showing density are Buffalo, NY and Memphis, TN. Classic, older dense cities with character. However, you guys should watch Miami for future density. That city is blowin' up with all the skyscraper new construction going on. In 10 years, it will have double the number of scrapers.

[Lakelander]

^Yes, I'm just getting back from visiting Miami. It feels like there's a new tower going up on just about every corner down there and its already got some nice density, especially at street level. All of the 500 footers going up now, should help make up for height.

The push for pro sports there scares me a little because it represents that old bigger-is-better mentality. Let's hope the impending failure of that project knocks some sense into the overzealous boosters.
First of all, many thanks for your nice words about Raleigh. Accepting that we are a small mid-sized city is not the wrong attitude, but there are things to consider:


DT Raleigh should not prevent big-city amenities and feel, at least in its core.
The skyline needs to reflect the actual size of the city (~335,000). Look at how nice is Winston-Salem's skyline, a city of about 200,000 residents; that city has maintained its culture, while offering a great image for its core.
NIMBYs are continuously getting vocal when it comes to big projects, even within Downtown Raleigh. They have had it their way for a very long time, causing nothing more than lost opportunities and urban sprawl. NIMBY-supported officials and developers who think of Raleigh as being another Charleston - a laughable viewpoint - have fought with all the power they have to make sure that we don't see anything above 20 stories.
Having a bigger vision is needed for the economic prosperity of the area. RTP may be the major attraction in the area, but in reality there is a lot more to see and do than RTP. Raleigh needs to create an identity for itself, totally independent of RTP.
As is, Raleigh's center needs several major developments to create a more uniform and continuous image for itself. From the South End, all the way to the Glenwood South, there is a huge area that screams for redevelopment and revitalization. While these districts have come a long way (especially Glenwood South), the number of proposals for these areas testify how much room for improvement exists.

Naturally, altering an image doesn't always require denying the true nature of a city. Raleigh is one of those cities that can get a major facelift in its downtown, and yet remain what it has always been. Its nature as a family-oriented place is great, but without incorporating some big-city amenities, Raleigh will be destined to grow slowly and become an aging city. My model for growth is Portland, which I find less overwhelming than other similarly sized places, but I am sure there are other cities that Raleigh can use as good examples for growth.

I have started a completely new thread talking about it, but I will make a brief mention of the problem I see here. Raleigh's leadership suffers from the small-town syndrome and lacks a big vision for its center. I have to give them A for trying, but without some exaggeration their vision isn't going to "sell". Take the following image as an example:

http://www.geocities.com/raleighmsa/images/RaleighMSA/Proposals/ConventionDistrict-RaleighNC-9.jpg

This project (South End) includes several buildings, none of which is above 15 stories. Yet, they look as they are 20+ stories high. Even from this angle, the tallest building should not approach anywhere near 60% of the nearby tallest building (BB&T; 430ft/29 stories). Unless we "oversize" our visions, they will remain small and do little in terms of giving DT Raleigh a much needed facelift.

Now, you may think I see things only on the surface, but I can assure you I am no dreamer of huge towers. In my lifetime, I would be happy to see Raleigh getting the skyline of Tampa, a city of similar size. I would hate to see Raleigh losing its character (whatever it may be), but urbanites have only a handful of options in this city. There is nothing wrong with replacing aging warehouses, decrepit low-rises and surface lots with skyscrapers and other urban projects. As far as having a professional sports team... I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as the local fan base can support it.

D A L L A S PANAORAMA

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/samclark/dfw/dallas_pano.jpg

[Cardpooch]

Most smaller skylines seem denser when viewed at a 45 degree angle to the city's street grid. This angle from the Northeast gives Louisville more vertical density than the typical view seen due North from the other side of the river.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/ver2go/cut.jpg


That being said, I think the most dense view of downtown is when approaching from the West on I-64. The taller buildings become more spaced out but the shorter and older structures become more prevalent. From this angle you can see how the old urban core quickly spread away from the river to avoid frequent flooding. To capture this view correctly, it would take a large pano. Something I haven't gotten around to doing.

OK Raleigh NC...... I wouldn't count us out too soon. We don't look bad and our density doesn't either. Depending what the variuos forumers think on this site and any other skyscraper site, a city over 300,000 is a considerable amount of people. To set it straight, we're headed towards the larger end of the Large Mid-Sized cities.

Even Durham NC (200,000) has density even with the three towers it has.

What do you guys think?

[Nick in Atlanta]

Here's a photo I took over a month ago that gives Midtown and Downtown a fairly connected appearance.

Nice...Good shot, it looks much denser than it is.

[Sean in New Orleans]

New Orleans and some density....
Doesn't get much more dense than this..

sorry for the quality but my camera is crap.

I like visiting other parts of the forum.....It allows northereners to gice constructive criticism about the south. I visit Northe astern forums all the time and drop a line or two, but that's because, I use to live in Syracuse NY.

[Matthew]

In Winston-Salem, the skyline is a square. You have to see it from every angle to see all the buildings.
Here are a few from different angles. Winston-Salem has the second best skyline in North Carolina and
the tallest skyscraper between Baltimore and Charlotte.

http://img38.exs.cx/img38/84/Skyline1.jpg
South: I'm starting to agree this is the most dense angle of Winston-Salem.

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/729/161dayskyline.jpg
West: I still like this angle, since it shows more historic buildings.

http://img48.exs.cx/img48/2791/27skyline5qd.jpg
East: Yes, those are mountains in this photo! Notice in this shot half of the tall buildings
(most of the older buildings) are hidden behind other buildings and the skyline looks newer than
it really is from other angles.

http://img48.exs.cx/img48/6450/26skyline6pi.jpg
North: This one has a front view of the 20-storey Nissen Apartments Tower and you can see the
historic "The Square" office building.

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/729/128financialdistrict.jpg
The southern quarter of the CBD, looking down on the Financial District. The glass tower is the headquarters
to the nation's 9th largest bank.

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/3219/161184thstreet301.jpg
Fourth Street is still my favorite "canyon" shot over the Main Street shot others like. There are plans for
a 9-18 storey condo tower with a huge urban park to the right, which will greatly bulk-up this shot and
provide a nice setting to take it in! We'll know more in August on the final plans.

[wrldcoupe4]

I like this pano or Richmond's skyline:

http://richmondcitywatch.com/albums/album92/pan1_resized.jpg

it can be found at www.richmondcitywatch.com and was taken by Ryan R....


btw in the distance behind the federal reserve tower (last tower on the left) you can sort of see the midtown high and mid-rises surrounding Monroe Park that no one ever gets to see in Richmond skyline shots...

[sleepy]

Hard to believe that over the next ten years, the Medical District will look completely different than it does now.

Yeah, I'll be sad to see it go. I was born in Baptist Hospital.

Since Baptist closed a few years ago, that area has become blighted. Hopefully, things will pick up with new development in the Edge and the UT Research Park.

You are right, that area is blighted. It will be cool though to watch it be imploded (the hospital and that old Holiday Inn). Also I was born at Baptist East Hospital on the worst section of Walnut Grove Road. :)

The thing about San Antonio, is although the skyline isn't ugly or bad, it's fairly short compared to most other cities. But the thing about San Antonio's downtown is that everything about it, its soul, its charm, its character, everything, is at street level and in terms of the Riverwalk, below street level. Anyway...

Oklahoma City has a very dense downtown.

Found this on SSpage:

If you are talking about who lives in the city limits

Charlotte: 2005 pop. est of 632,760
Atlanta: 2004 Census Estimate) 423,019

Atlanta MSA + 28 counties in Ga (2004 Census Estimate) 5,034,362
Charlotte MSA + 6 counties in NC & SC -2003 Census Estimate 1,437,427

More people live within a 100 mile radius of Charlotte than most other large cities in the Southeast. Charlotte's 100-mile radius population of 6.2 million people equals that of Atlanta's 100-mile radius population and is larger than Miami's 3.8 million and Memphis' 2.4 million people"
So it is all on how you look at it.

What the? :? :dunno:

And by the way why do Charlotte people LOVE to post about 100-mile radius population? What in the world is that supposed to prove?

[lokinyc]

you forgot to mention that Charlotte's land area is TWICE that of Atlanta.
Charlotte= 242 sq. miles
Atlanta= 134 sq. miles

[Justadude]

And yet people keep talking about it...

Thats why Im confused about how population figures even entered into the discussion???? :gaah:

[HoustonTexas]

I was just correcting someone :)

[TheCharlottean]

Charlotte: 594,359(city); 2,067,810(metro) 174 mi²
Atlanta: 419,122(city); 5,125,726(metro) 132 mi²

Miami: 379,724(city); 5,361,723(metro) 36 mi²

Actually, Charlotte 651,101 in city. They recently annexed more land, and the new figure has been confirmed on Wikipedia.
It's just crazy how many people live outside of Atlanta but within the metro. By my estimation, the metro is about 12 times the size of the actual city.
And on the opposite end of the spectrum is Memphis, which by those figures seems to have done a very good job of restraining sprawl.

I know this thread is about pictures, though, so...
http://www.rivinus.com/2004/images/january_4_2004_055.jpg

Don't know if it's been posted yet or not, though. If it has, forgive me. It was taken a year ago, before the renovation of One Wachovia center (The mid-rise on the very right), and before the beginning of construction of all of the condo towers.

It's a rendering (Note the words and the bottom of the image) of a complex.
Of the smaller buildings, two are currently under construction, and one is built, and will be the new headquarters fo Southern Company. The larger, more attention drawing building is currently proposed.

Looking forward to my trip to Chicago on Wednesday. I haven't been since Katrina.

When you come to CHI you have to be really careful what angle you look at Chicago's skyline from. There are so many buildings that if you look from some directions you WILL NOT SEE IT ALL. The buildings are so numerous that they will block each other and you wont get the full scale of their true heights. You should look from the north or the west, get high up on the expressway. The west is my personal favorite because from the south noway you see anything close to the entire skyline. Being a Southsider my whole life, I finally came up north and I saw aspects of the skyline I had never seen in my life! Im serious, half the people in town will not even see the full thing uninterrupted. Its a big town so we isolate and stick to ourselves, lifelong Southsiders dont fuck wit the Northside so Chicago is like a collection of smaller city states that come together so we all see the town differently. And there are people on the Southside that will never see the full city just the same for Northsiders. There are Westsiders who WILL NOT come to the Southside just like growing up I stayed around other Southsiders pretty much. Just a lot of separatism in our circles I guess cuz we all feel unique and kind of arrogant. I can say for sure the Southsiders are the best of the breeds and are the heart of the city and they need us more than we need them. We make the town we break the town. We stand out because everyone else thinks they're the shit but we know we are the shit and thats the difference. Thats just how big Chicago is and I guess thats the attitude here I dunno. And I wanna go back to Newalins. That food down there was :eek2:

What's with all this Chicago business?
Not to mention most of us have seen those same shots a couple hundred times anyway. :tongue2:

What do you guys think?

ATL is the best skyline in the South and my fav city down there in the South I've been too after New Orleans. It sorta reminds me of shit in Chicago.
