    For those not in the know, that's the tallest building in Edmonton.

      Edmonton must have grown quite a bit very recently.

        Anything taller than 36 floors yet?

        It's such a cute little town.

            It's so adorable.

            I was so wrong, the tallest building has 39 floors (146m).

              Not everything that is good is tall.

                There gets to be a point that the me-too generic old-style buildings get a bit too boring, like that.

                They mean something if they're 500 years old...

                    It doesn't have to be a high-rise, but as long as it's something I haven't seen 10000000000000 times before it's good.

                    • We favour livable and interesting over phalic size.

                      This building is built down the river bank. The shot doesn't give the drop the right justice.



                      another shot has Canada Place to the right and the Hotel MacDonald to the left at the top of the bank and the building going down the bank in the mid ground.

                        • Edmonton is a boring city no matter how you cut it.

                          We got green too. And nice, big buildings. And mountains.



                          Edmonton has lots of brown though. So, yay brown?

                          • See, the problem with Calgary is that people there are trying to act bigger than they are. Relax, dudes, you're never gonna compete with Vancouver, let alone Manhatten.

                            • Don't see anyone acting bigger than they are.

                              Do see someone from Edmonton feeling inadequate nonetheless.
