Walking from west to east on Walnut St, this building is so dominant

I get the sense that this building will underwhelm until the glass is complete, from a design perspective. From a height perspective it's great to see how quickly it's made an impact already.

One of, maybe even the best angles of Philly.

Definitely agree there. It's absolutely gorgeous.

I also do love the view from Lemon Hill, but unfortunately Liberty 1 and 2 like to hide from that angle

I really love our skyline, I think it's easily one of the most elegant-looking skylines in the country. I love the way it's expanding and growing, we may not have 600 footers popping up like weeds like NYC, and several other cities do but I like that. Skylines like NYC honestly look weird to me, they don't really have "Trophy towers" there all hiding, and being covered up. I'm glad our city is expanding, and I cant wait to see more proposals!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Philadelphia's skyline is underrated based on my experiences and travels. (underrated seems to be a theme).
The buildings have a nice flow, trophy towers, old, new, short, tall, high quality, etc.

I give the win to Chicago, its a magnificent skyline, especially the angle from the Lincoln Park Zoo, but I think Philadelphia has a solid argument for #2-#4 spot.

For me...

1. Chicago
2. New York (I still find New York's so incredible, even though it's crowded)
3. Philadelphia
4. San Fran

In certain angles, Philly's skyline is robust and dense like the other top big cities. However, Manhattan still has a great feel and look on the street level and all the skyscrapers you can see when you are in and around its neighborhoods that line up the main streets and buildings you can see from the surrounding streets.

Lol I'm pretty sure I posted a similar opinion to this on here like 10 years ago and needless to say it was not taken well.

Nice view of the Laurel from right behind the FMC Tower
