Fort worth has a better skyline than Sa

Houston of course, the only other city that can compare is Dallas.

Fort Worth is at least getting another 500 ft. tower. The new Omni Fort Worth Hotel broke ground in late August and the site is already being excavated. For the time being, the 50 story replacement for the Landmark Tower has been shelved and the 900 ft. Block TU Tower has been shortened to 30 stories.

Houston

Skylinewise: HOUSTON!!!
Weatherwise: El Paso (clothes aren't plastered to you from humidity on a summer day)

Dallas star · September 13th, 2006, 11:46 PM

What do you mean by weather wise

Ohno · September 14th, 2006, 03:36 AM

I spent three day driving all over Texas. In my impression:
1. Houston.
2. Dallas
3. Austin
4. San. Antonio

Waco is just so so. To me, Laredo in the border of US and Mexico seems to be ghetto .

from a minnesotan...

1. Dallas.. Love the buildings, 3 or 4 of them stick in your head.
2. Houston in a close 2nd, dense, big... and uhh.. big
3. Austin

KevinFromTexas · September 27th, 2006, 06:27 AM

My top 10:

1--Houston
2--Dallas
3--Austin
4--Fort Worth
5--San Antonio
6--Corpus Christi
7--El Paso
8--Midland
9--Beaumont
10--Waco

Austin has the best-looking skyline. Houston is the densest. Dallas' skyline looks too dense, then not dense enough--not a good situating of tall vs less tall buildings. San Antonio's is pretty good too. Austin ranks #1 in my book. El Paso has a gritty, foreign feel about it. Of course it is almost in Mexico...

It's his opinion. Why attack him because he stated it?

See, there you go again! I didn't attack his opinion. I attacked the logic.

So let's analyze this reasoning.... Houston is the densest, but Dallas is too dense but not dense enough???? Give it up.

TexasBoi · October 5th, 2006, 04:16 AM

But Dallas LOOKS dense but not dense enough. I'm sure you heard comparisons similar to this before in your lifetime. Again, it's his opinion, no matter how he portrayed it.

Dallas star · October 7th, 2006, 03:35 AM

yup

ChiPsy · October 13th, 2006, 11:02 PM

Dallas at night -- jazzy, spirited, fun.
Houston -- great top-to-bottom views of postmodern scrapers.
Houston Uptown -- Transco is a gem.
Dallas in the day -- the faceted glass building is one of best in the US.

(Enormous space here.)

San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth.

Dallas star · October 14th, 2006, 04:38 AM

Texas Boi I agree with u!

dallasburg · April 3rd, 2007, 05:14 PM

Dallas is definately the best. The Reunion Tower (the golf ball shaped building) and the green building (I forget the name) highlight the skyline, especially at night. Houston is overrated just because its big and dense.

Tymel · April 3rd, 2007, 08:21 PM

Houston then Dallas. Both are amazing tho.

NaptownBoy · April 3rd, 2007, 09:25 PM

Hmm. Interesting thread. I'm going to have to go with Lubbock on this one.
