LOL... almost every other major US skyline is more impressive than Houston's "in person"... St. Louis, New Orleans, Baltimore and certainly Miami. It's b/c the skyline is essentially one wall of supertalls that block any of the other interesting structures from view (the old Gulf building and Neils Esperson have long been lost in DT skyline shot, except from the east) Houston takes a great picture, but past that other cities have the hand up. Plus it helps when you've got something happening at street level too, which is still lacking in Houston.
I'm starting to see the point of other forumers here... why do we keep having to do this boosterism crap for Houston. It's a great city, but we shouldn't try to make it into Miami or Paris or Austin. We need to be glad for what we've got and what we're getting, learn from other cities about what they do right, and continue to make Houston better. That's not going to be accomplished in a boosterism thread.
