. I don't understand the hate for Houston on this board, we're all from Louisiana and bitching about a skyline that is getting added to as I type this. When's the last time Nola, BR, or Monroe added a 50 story building?


I got absolutely no hate for Houston's skyline I remember the first time I personally drove through it as a 19 or 20 year old and thinking "holy shite this aint Alex." I think people just compare Houston and Dallas. Both has a shite ton of other skylines in uptown and other suburbs that put all of La's cities (except Nola) to shame lol.

ETA: @Boat yeah that is what I was really talking about, when you come across that curve on i20 west and you are far off and all the casinos on both sides blend and you can't tell there is a river it looks really nice and a lot larger. I couldn't find a good pic of that.

No way José. Dallas doesn't hold a candle to Houston, whose skyline is so bright and glimmering. Just view it on a clear January night from the train station on Washington Ave., about 1 mile away. It's spectacular. Dallas officially sucks, by comparison.

There is nothing wrong with Houstons skyline.
true. but there's nothing right about it either. it's bland.

dallas' is iconic and recognizable. houston's is not.

It has one green lit tower and Reunion Tower. The skyline itself looks puny compared to Houston’s.
