It's Atlanta in nearly 18,000 years lol. I would have expected more skyscrapers, not less...

As for rebuilding it, it sort of was rebuilt, in 1912. The major inspiration behind the Electric Tower (fmrly Niagara Mohawk Bldg) -

Like the "original", it is most impressive at night.

In that respect, here it's like the 50s and 60s never ended. Pretty soon we'll be marketing our lots as historically significant!

the original Electric Tower on the PAN AM grounds was made of the same material that all the other the exibit buildings were made of...and stucko-mud type plaster that would naturally fall apart after a years time...it was in Buffalo's destiny to lose the tower. The only building not constructed with this material was the now* Historical Society building, or History Museum for short.

why does everything in US looks better in the old days, just look at the fantastic vibrancy the downtowns use to have.

Silicon Francisco · August 14th, 2006, 07:55 PM

Because everyone left the cities for the suburbs, but they're coming back somewhat. Even Manhattan had twice as many people as it does now before World War II.
