Seems the world is building a lot of very tall and interesting buildings at a rapid rate these days, but I've not heard America doing anything much, anyone care to prove me wrong?

Sloww, that looks like a decent arena
But the OP asks the wrong question. The right question is, what is going on in Dubai, and what kind of crazy things they are building. They're crazy awesome.In da butt.

Chicago
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

If built today, it would be the 5th tallest building in the country. The tallest outside New York or Chicago.

Looks like it references the Chrysler Building.
The prices for condos look very reasonable too. Starting at $400k for a 913 ft^2 condo.Last edited by DanS; November 7, 2007, 11:02.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
