10!!!..........GO FEDEX........YEAH!!!!!!:D

nice, I like the pyramid. 8/10

This skyline does nothing for me. The city itself is full of character, but the skyline is absolutely blah. Some say that's part of Memphis' character, but if you're asking me to rate it, I gotta give it a 5.

A few comments here. First, the skyline is so-so, too many boxes though, so I'll give it a 6/10. Second, that first picture is pretty amazing. The natural untouched beauty of the land across the river is amazing. It is unique how a fairly large city is right there, and within a few miles, it looks as if it is endless. And finally, the Pyramid is also interesting. How come in the first picture the Pyramind is bluish/black and in the second to last picture the Pyramid is white?

There are a few buildings that look nice, but for the most part, its just boxes. The river complements the skyline and the pyramid carrise the whole thing! :D

Cool. Nice and green, you have the water there, and a nice bridge. The pyramid gives the eye a little something extra to look at. Not much variety in building styles however. 7/10.

7/10

The Pyramid Basketball Arena is cool. I hope the Griz don't built a new stadium. 6.5

Definately a well defined skyline although the buildings are a little short! ;) What's the pyramid doing there? Is it some kinda weird building or just a statue or some mounment? :bash: I like the pyramid though, it makes Memphis unique :)

7.5/10

5.5 Nothing special but the pyrimid! Without that its a plane ass city

The skyline isn't that interesting but it has some nice density and historic buildings. The Pyramid, where the NBA Memphis Grizzlies play until the FedEx arena is built, is a nice addition to the skyline. Why are they building a new arena anyways? I like the setting a lot next to the mighty Mississippi with that cool bridge. I didn't realize the Arkansas side was so untouched still, it looks like swamp land. Seems like the riverfront next to downtown would have more in the way of condo towers, maybe in the future. 6/10

A rather blah skyline... though the pyramid arena is cool... I do like the untouched greenness across the river though... 4

I live in Jonesboro ( about 63 miles nw of memphis) the land across the river, arkansas of course, has many farms and is rather unattractive. west memphis is just out of the first pic too.

ok,for the skyline, theres not alot there, but imo there is a hell of alot of character in the downtown area. and just out of downtown there are many beautiful historic buildings. And to the south you have....well...the ghetto :)

because of that pyramed.

highest amount of people living in one city infected with HIV.

I like that Pyramid !!

Why so many Pyramid in USA?


:D

Memphis's tallest building, Clark Tower, is located outside the city downtown and is in midtown. Does anyone have pics of it? its a ugly building...but its the tallest...so ya kno! thanks

6.5

Beautiful setting next to the river and the untouched greenness across it, the city centre is well defined with a cluster of relatively boring buildings set off by the pyramid to the north. Looks alright in profile, but surrounded by too many carparks.

you guys...i know everyone says this about every city..but memphis is CHANGING! they are building a 22 story condominums right by the nbc tower for example...YAY

Only a few samll boxes. I don't like the pyramid. 4/10

Hola!

I am from Memphis, and the skyline is very dull, and it has been the same skyline since I was born with the exception of the Morgan keegan building, which is not too bad.

The Pyramid was built and financed about 10 years ago to lure an NBA team. So, finally Memphis gets the Grizzlies, but the farthead owner demands a new facility financed by public tax dollars, which has angered many in the community because the Pyramid is new and nice and paid for by tax dollars. Now the college team (University of Memphis) wants to move to the new arena, so now the Pyramid has no tenant whatsoever. Memphis city government spends money like crackheads.

I like Clark Tower! One can see the whole city from the top of the building. There is another cool building in Memphis near Germantown on Poplar Avenue, I think its a Union Planters building, it is dark blue and has a shapely design.

Senor

Well the skyline is subtle, but that is because the city is much larger in area than most other large cities. It covers close to 300 sq. miles, so there is no reason to build huge skyscrapers because there is plenty of space to live and work. And the tallest buildings are not even downtown, though now downtown memphis is finally developing with retail, offices and apartments, Memphis is one of the hot spots in the South financially. And the pyramid will probably become some aquarium or museum.


SOMEBODY HAS TO POST MORE PICS OF MEMPHIS TO GIVE IT JUSTICE!!!!

The tallest buildings in Memphis are downtown. Clark Tower is actually the third tallest in the city.

Some new pics of Memphis, TN- Just a few of what I possess but it gives a little bit of the feel of the city without becoming a thread of its own.

The pyramid is pretty good.....but otherwise it is just decent.

Average American skyline... 6.5/10

I see no one really liked the picks of Memphis I put up like a year ago, LOSERS!

Pretty nice. I give it a 6.5/10. :)

Not as bad as people say, IMO.

8.5/10

Classic density, which is pitiably rare in the South. I love it! 10.

If anyone has anypics of Clark Tower in east Memphis or the other distinct buildings from east memphis, or perhaps a shot from the top of Clark Tower looking towards the downtown skyline. They might help a bit.

Honestly, this is one of the most dissapointing skylines in the US.

5/10

Looks very nice! 7.5/10

I'm from Memphis so here is my vote: 10/10 :)
Also here are some pictures my brother and I took of the skyline of Memphis:

My favorite high-rise in Memphis has got to be the 25 glass Hilton Affiliate Hotel Tower located off of popular.

8/10- nice skyline and vegetation... what's memphis' pop???

I'll say 8.0

Nice, but it's nothing outstanding.

awesome.

I give my city's skyline a 7/10. The Pyramid, density, and city life gave it a boost. Hopefully, those 4 proposed high-rises for the future will help.

We have our warehouse there, near Fedex hub! Love the perfect blend of nature and urban feel.

But 7.0/10.0 for the skyline.

6.5/10

I really just don't like it. There are no glass towers, and it looks like most of the skyscrapers there were built during the 60's and 70's. Its just overall bland. I would say a 3. The pyramid is cool, and probably it's only redeeming factor.

Not very interesting but some nice buildings. 6.5

5/10

great city, but puny skyline for the size.

Guys, the environment in Memphis is pretty unique. As I've said, perfect blend of nature and urban feel. Been there only twice and love it.

But right, there's not much development in it's skyline this recent years.

it think its a good city and it has a lot of potential so it deserves 7/10

6.5. Nice old buildings, but some of the boxes are a bit dominating, and i don't really like boxes. The density is nice. If a few new buildings get built that are nice the rating will go up.

While I would expect more height and numbers from a city as big and famous as Memphis, it does get points for that fabulous pyramid.

7/10

9/10 because I like the pyramid!

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party who's trying to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall.

That song is the best thing about Memphis, ever. :yes:

Better shots of Memphis. :)
