    Fez

    Read what I said! It was voted top in a poll at that site. How could that not be true!?

    You disagree, fine, say that.

    Lord!

    Another excellent site:
    SkyscraperPage.com
    http://www.skyscraperpage.com/
    Skyscraper enthusiast website featuring buildings database, discussion forum and skyscraper diagrams.


    If you put in your city, it gives drawings and othwer info of the skyscrappers, though not all, only those they have gotten to.

      Well I don't see how it could of been. Was Santiago left out of the poll? Because it has an impressive skyline.. I guess it really isn't that well known.

      Well that may be true for the poll, but it may not be true in reality. I will have to disagree. Have you visited these countries? Because I have and I notice these things.

          Almost all you see in the last photo was built after 1992.

              Panama City isn't that great.. I been there.. a lot of those buildings have suffered infrastructure problems.

              Some of Buenos Aires:

                Nice pictures Fez
                I was going to post a pic of Santiago with the Andes on the back but I can't found that damn pic!

                Actually I also like the skyline of Panama but I think Sao Paulo's is more impressive.

                    No tranquility... cars .... planes... dirty polluted air... and even more cars...

                    Could imagine how things would be if we would drop a couple of skycrapers in there , and air polution isn't that bad yet here (compared to LA, Mexico C, Tokyo and the likes )

                        I do like Panama City.. but it is not the greatest IMO..

                        Santiago is a bit polluted but it is getting better and has a nice skyline..

                        Sao Paolo is nice too...

                        One more of Santiago:

                              You are correct about one things Fez (wow, everyone must be once, no? ). In Panama they spend very little on maintanance, and the wet, humid weather (less than ten minutes by car, without traffic, you get to rainforests outside Panama city) is killer on structures.
