Discuss the best North American skyline here.
It's now HQ for Bank of America which is one of the largest US banks.Charlotte is quite an emerging financial services hub these days.
Wachovia also has a big operation in Charlotte as well, and they're up there on the tallest skyscraper rankings.It's now HQ for Bank of America which is one of the largest US banks.
True but Cleveland has at least one skyscraper over 700 ft.Nice, but your Indy and Cleveland skylines just don't display much density. But atleast they look better than 20 years ago. (I do like the tall building in Cleveland...Key Center, I believe the tallest building between Chicago and New York City!).
Yes, Calgary has quite a large skyline, to some extent more exciting than Vancouver. But Vancouver has a nice natural settingumm...what happened to calgary? for the size of the city, i think that calgary has rather large density...
my list:
1. chicago
2. NYC
3. T-O
4. calgary
and the rest...
and btw...vancouver never would be able to be near the top on my list...most of its buildings are res...it hardly has any commercial core (all of its comming to calgary :lol
Actually, warehouses are still fairly common especially among port cities. New York has a whole bunch of those overlooking the Manhattan skyline across the river in Brooklyn, for example.The parking alot I agree but not much of the storage warehouses. This is common in alot of US cities but those that come to my mind are Texas cities such as Houston or Dallas.
They still do unless they convert the warehouses into galleries or any commercial use just like what they did in The Enbarcadero in San Francisco.Actually, warehouses are still fairly common especially among port cities.

Warehouses in downtown waterfront cities is a common sight. The Embarcadero was beautified because the freeway was too badly damaged in the 89 quake. Even now, there are still a number of warehouses in the area alongside the promenade, palm-tree-lined streets, and the historic streetcar line.They still do unless they convert the warehouses into galleries or any commercial use just like what they did in The Enbarcadero in San Francisco.
Again, these warehouses are converted to commercial use such as art galleries, restaurants, etc.Warehouses in downtown waterfront cities is a common sight.

San Francisco's newly born waterfront boulevard is not full of restaurants and art galleries. A lot of the warehouses remain, and are closed off from the public, so while people are bicycling and strolling along the shores, they can't venture into these buildings. The activity begins to pick up along the western edge of the waterfront around Fisherman's Wharf .. surprise surprise.Again, these warehouses are converted to commercial use such as art galleries, restaurants, etc.
