    The new Omni Hotel pretty much makes it. Before that opened, it looked like a city for Leprechauns

    LOLs @ you got me. :grin:

    I had to reverse-lookup that image... I thought to myself "WTF? :confused: That doesn't look like Oklahoma City..."

    Haha, OK City. Nice.

    BS list. The only reason San Francisco made the list is due the them using a picture from the opening credits of Full House.

    Got me too! Saw the title and thought wtf? The skyline here in OKC is essentially 1 building.

    Once I clicked the article and saw it was Dallas it all made sense then!

    Turrible list. The only American cities that can even come close to Shanghai and Hong Kong are Chicago and NYC.

    Dallas has nothing on Chicago's, NYC's, SF's, Seattle's, or Hong Kong's.

    There's absolutely nothing outstanding about that skyline. F*** Dallas.

    Houston's skyline destroys Dallas' by any metric.

    Maybe except for nightime lighting

    Laughed when seeing Washington on the list. This list is extremely biased towards US cities.

    Shanghai should definitely be top 5, also other Asian cities have to be listed before US ones.

    Why can't we have more colored lights and balls?

    New York City is #1 on any skyline list. The Asian cities and Dubai cannot match the historic value of the birthplace of the skyscraper and the mix of old and new

    If the thread title would've said "Southern Oklahoma city...", it would have made more sense.
