There is a sort of European quality about Houston's skylines. London and Paris both come to mind here. They're the type of cities with rather large multiple skylines scattered about. When you think about it, there aren't many other cities like this in the US, at least not with towers of that height, up to 900 feet in height. Whenever I'm there it definitely looks different than most other cities.
Agreed on the boringness of skyscrapers in general though. Obviously for us skyscraper geeks we're drawn to them, but for the usual visitor of a city, they're just an afterthought.
