Very true but them there tall buildings have a romantic effect on people's eyes. It starts at the street of course - Midtown Manhattan wouldn't be quite the same with the same kind of street activity that you'll find around 21st and Race at 11pm on a weeknight. One thing tends to lead to the other, though, especially in an older organic city like ours.
