Some of my favorite skyscrapers.

Too bad that Bank of the Southwest thing never got built.

Why is Houston proud of itself???.... simply pathetic.

You've never been to Houston have you? 'nough said.
Great pics. The city is awsome, one of the best skylines in the U.S.

Downtown Houston is a lot like the Calgary skyline, underrated!

we knew it had to happen sooner or later.

the parking lots aren't that noticeable at ground level, really. i was really impressed that despite the imposing height, downtown was really walkable.

Yeah, that sucks. It would've occupied the parking lot that seperates the El Paso Energy Tower on the south and One Shell Plaza to the east.

Those parking lots are really starting to fill in!

you ever been to houston? what's sad is equating the quality of a place with its skyline or its surface parking lots downtown

I love these aerials. Downtown is really changing. I'm really looking foward to the new park in front of the convention center. Looks awesome.
