I don't know about you guys, but I kinda get a hard on for skylines and skyscrapers. Sports and buildings, the only forums I visit online regularly.

Anyways, the past few years have been big for skyscrapers, it seems everyone wants the tallest in the world. Chicago just started building the future tallest tower in America, the Chicago Spire which will be 2,000 feet... :o

This...

Is going here...

Crazy.

And, the Burj Dubai will be the tallest tower in the world at 2,665 feet and have 162 floors.

Dubai looks way futuristic. That's our gas dollars building their towers!

Pun intended?

Anyway, I was lucky enough to visit the Twin Towers (WTC) before 9/11.

This is old news really. I was just in Chicago about an hour ago at the Auto Show, and I saw the new Trump tower being built. Pretty swanky.

What's old news? I didn't even post an article or anything?

The Spire. Everyone has known about it for quite some time now.

This makes Chicago owning the 2 tallest buildings in North America right?

I wasn't posting it as if I was the first to know about it or as if it was news. I knew about the concept and early design of it back in 2005. Seems like you just like to assume and argue sometimes...

I was just posting it to see if anyone had an interest in architecture. And, the new World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) will be second tallest when it is complete, it will pass the Sears Tower by 46 feet.
