Cool, I will now know which building I want to visit.
Inspired by the Skyscrapers thread.
Attached is a pic of my "neighborhood". I live in the building that has the red arrow on it.
(Edit : The city is Ashdod, 40km southern of Tel Aviv, Israel)

Given that I live in NYC, I will post neighborhood pics:
Local Park: Once Fort Washington, site of the Rebels worst defeat, renemaed for the last British Givernor of New York:
Looking at the George Washington Bridge:
Northern Manhattan:
The reason tourist come up this way: the Cloisters. Parts of three different monestaries in Europe make up this building, which houses a small part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Medeival collection:
Another cloisters shot:

Trajanus: no this is not Tel Aviv. this is Ashdod, some 40 (?) kms to the south. It also has great developement potential, since it's on a flat plain near the sea. ( unlike my city ).

Tel Aviv is an ugly, brown, unplanned, crowded city.
Ashdod is a beautiful, white and blue, spacious city.

My street, 187th. I live further east from this:
The street I live on is called Overlook, and this photo shows you why (taken from the next street over, Bennet)
Local Subway entrance:
A local playground outside the Park:
The main shopping street, 181st:
Tallest natural point in Manhattan! (the guy, not me is standing on it). [ sorry to say, I took none of these pics...
A local Synagoge (the neigborhood has a large Jewish precense, also increasingly a Russian one..)

Knoxville, TN. Love the greenery!
Eli:. That's because it's population is SLIGHTLY larger than yours.
Anyway, it's time to use my secret weapon! This is the beautiful Shrine of the Bahaii Religion. ph33r!
EDIT : X-posted with GePap: These are great pics!
San Diego. The Bridge is Coronado Bridge, which is reeeeaaallllllyyyy tall.

I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith — it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.
The brown-white building at the lower part of the pic is also a synagogue(or something similar).

Too bad I couldn't find a pic of one of the 3 castles here, or the abbey

No. It's because Tel Aviv is mostly unplanned. The streets in the city center(or at least, what was the city center) are waaaay too narrow.Originally posted by Azazel

GePap: how about a pic of your street? I wonder how "small" new york looks like? and in what borough do you live?

Why is the sky so brown, Lonestar? It's not that way here in Knoxville...
Its a Jewish community center. As I said, there is a very large Jewish community in my immidiate neighborhood, several Schools and community centers. Yeshiva University is nearby.

He ZOG types, my city is purtier than your city.
The View from North Island Naval Station.
Azazel It leads to North Island Naval Airstation....it's so high because Naval ships go under it, and LHA's and LHD's are Big 'uns.
JohnT, True, but you have a far more insideious type of pollution....Country Music.

Country music can be turned off.
Those carriers standing there are beautiful, Lonestar. almost as beuatiful as Hersh's Kids' Candyland town.
It's SOMland, or Mozartcity.

It's an amazing site to drive into Diego and see a couple of aircraft carriers parked in the harbor.
Also that bridge has "suicide hotline" signs posted every 20 yards or so.
this is a nice one
