That little triangular park in Pittsburgh (Point State Park) actually has the footprint/remains of the original French and British forts that were erected there, which tells you that the confluence has always been roughly that shape, at least.

Growing up in Houston, I thought we had tall skyscrapers, and we do BUT then I visited New York and it is on a totally different level. It is absolutely AMAZING. My first visit was back in 2000, so the World Trade Center buildings were still there, absolutely impressive. Everything was just so tall, dense and amazing! Flying into the city and looking out the airplane window, I was in awe. 21 years old and my first time seeing what I've only seen on TV was quite special. I haven't been back since they've completed One World Trade Center, but I can't wait to visit NYC again!

Cincinnati looks much classier than when I lived there back in the 70s. But there's still a lot of the beautiful old German style brickwork spread around downtown.

In Dallas that ball is actually a restaurant and it’s gorgeous at nighttime. it’s lit up kinda like the New York New Year’s Eve ball and has lights that come out of it that flash around the city. It’s a beautiful inside also

Atlanta is huge with many districts and neighborhoods that have a nice cluster of mid/high rise buildings. Downtown and midtown use to have a gap between them, but so much construction is happening in Midtown that the gap has filled in. At one point there was so much construction in midtown Atlanta, there was a building crane shortage. There is also Buckhead, North Perimeter Center/Sandy Springs, Cobb/Marietta, Coca-Cola campus, ATL airport, and a few more.

Atlanta's skyline is spread out because the skyscrapers were built around alot of historic areas that weren't going to be torn down. Margaret Mitchell (author of gone with the wind) was born in Atlanta and her house was turned into museum. So if you're driving in midtown, you'll pass a bunch of sky scraper and then you happen upon a random 100 year house. Downtown also has 5 colleges, The Martin Luther King historic district and Coca Cola offices.

For a long time Philadelphia prohibited the construction of any building taller than the statue of William Penn atop city hall. Thus the city's tallest buildings are modern in style.

Chicago also goes underground with the pedway. I could get on the subway, exit underground, walk several blocks in the Pedway, enter my office building and never step outside until I exited the subway on the way home. I typically preferred to be outside, but in extreme weather, it was a nice option to have!

That was Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati where the Reds play.

They're both Atlanta, however the skyscrapers in the foreground is called Buckhead, it's an area with condo's/apartments, shopping center and restaurants. There is a spaghetti junction in Atlanta GA. We live in the Las Vegas area, it's beautiful at night

Atlanta has the following cluster areas: Downtown, Midtown, Perimeter North, Cobb, and Perimeter South -- the beltway, which is over 60 miles around, used to encompass the city, but now the city has spread in all directions beyond it. Now there's Alpharetta and ATL airport clusters. Atlanta is also called the City of Trees, so many shorter buildings are hidden under large canopies of trees

Hi 👋🏽 from Dallas Tx. The building with the ball on top is called Reunion Tower, they do tours where you can go up and you have a 360 view of Dallas. There is also a restaurant in the tower and it rotates all the way around so you have the view constantly changing as it rotates. 16:41

There are some underground tunnels in downtown Houston, they’re for pedestrians. They connect a few buildings together and even have some small shops.

Love San Diego skyline really nice at night. The Atlanta was in the background Buckhead which is near by was the one closes to the view. Honolulu does have a great skyline day or night.

That view of Pittsburgh looking at the point of confluence of the 3 rivers is very similar looking to viewing Manhattan from the lower bay ,as on the Staten Island ferry

14:58 There will be a “Spaghetti Junction” in certain big cities in the US depending on how the city was being built in the 1900s. Cities with little train/subway transportation (like Houston and Atlanta) typically have them because traffic can be ghoulish lol.

The Home Insurance Building, built in 1885 and located on the corner of Adams and LaSalle Streets in Chicago, Illinois, went down in history as the world’s first modern skyscraper. Designed by engineer William LeBaron Jenney, the building was supported by a revolutionary steel frame, which allowed for much greater height and stability without the greater weight of traditional masonry construction. The Home Insurance Building stood until 1931, when it was demolished to make way for another skyscraper, the Field Building (now known as the LaSalle Bank Building).

Atlanta’s Skyline is more spread out because of the historic venues like Martin Luther King’s home and the HBCU’s in the area. I believe the area in the background of the shot is Buckhead (which is like North Atlanta). This pictures looks a bit older because now there’s are a few more skyscrapers in place.

I’m from City #12 16:10 and we don’t call that tower “gods microphone.” We call it the “Ball Tower.” It’s official name is the Reunion tower, and it is a part of a hotel, the Hyatt Regency Dallas. It’s an Observatory, and a restaurant.

I would put Pittsburgh above Toronto.

There are three areas of metro Atlanta with skyscrapers. There is Atlanta "proper", Midtown, and Buckhead. Each area has a cluster of skyscrapers!

Speaking of Houston's underground, Here in Dallas we have an underground area too. There are shops and other amenities there.

Yes….Atlanta basically has two clusters of skylines…..the downtown/ midtown large stretched out MAIN skyline-look at the posters for Walking Dead…..the shot of all the cars trying to leave the city next to the empty interstate with only Rick Grimes on a horse approaching the city, that’s Midtown/ Downtown area-while Buckhead is the secondary skyline just north of downtown…..

I live in Charleston, South Carolina which was established in 1670 (making it one of America's oldest cities, but still an infant by European standards). Because the historical skyline is so iconic and beautiful, affording most of the city views of Charleston Harbor, the Architectural Review Board has always limited buildings to being no taller than the tallest Church steeple. Thus the tallest building is only 18 stories, and even it is an anomaly.

The London Eye, aka a Ferris Wheel, was first introduced in Chicago during it’s 1893 World’s Fair by George Ferris. It was originally called the Chicago Wheel. So everyone has a Chicago Wheel, nowadays.

I live and work in Manhattan and get off the subway at Columbus Circle, I'm constantly amazed at the buildings on "Billionaires Row". There's one residential tower that's 472M high.

They've also starting building up Queens and Brooklyn and along the Hudson river on the New Jersey side..;)

Actually, the DFW-Arlington metropolitan area aka the Metroplex, is the 4th largest metropolitan area in the US with a population of 7,759,615. Dallas has a network of tunnels beneath the downtown area as well. The "microphone" is the Reunion Tower, a part of the Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel. It has a revolving restaurant along with an observation deck. It also has a lighting system that flashes around the ball and they can change the colors and designs to observe holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, special events such as Texas/OU weekend (a fabled college football rivalry that happens annually during the State Fair in Dallas), or if a local team goes into a championship series they will flash the team logo in tribute.

San Diego can't have super tall buildings because the airport is in the middle of the city. Seattle's skyline is gorgeous! Especially when you see it coming across the water on the ferry.

Seattle should be nearer the top for several reasons. It has a "natural" skyline, meaning you actually see the skyline from various places around town, without having to go search for a good angle. Mount Rainier actually asserts itself on the horizon, as opposed to the forced perspective lens trick for something like LA. Seattle is also nestled amidst hills, which creates actual dimension and character for the city. And then all the incidentals like clouds and rich greens. I would put it number one easily.

Bless you .

After World War II, the USA government focused building suburbs and highways so that families could own cars and live in a house far from the busy downtown areas. That was the new "American Dream". Nowadays, Americans are growing tired of traffic and having to drive everywhere for basic needs because there is extremely poor public transportation infrastructure. They want to return to the European lifestyle of living close to work, close to supermarkets, close to restaurants, easy access to public transportation, and less dependency on cars. ...By the way, the Miami skyline is absolutely beautiful and tropical.

Mark 20:44 A couple from Las Vegas, Nevada, as opposed to Las Vegas, New Mexico, in "The Amazing Race" were amazed to see old European landmark buildings and lamented that in Las Vegas, they don't give buildings a chance to last so long because they always tear them down to make new ones! Though to be fair, in the past, they demolished boxy buildings or pre-code buildings that were built fast and cheap from the days of the Old West or the Gangster Era. Of course, something must have been affected by the nearby atomic bomb tests rattling buildings! But now they have very interesting and expensive buildings worth keeping around for some time! Now, what he didn't mention is the legal status of what they call the geographical area known as "The Las Vegas Strip" as opposed to the dance or the beverage or the game or the movie, should those exist. The jurisdiction is different there. Something about how Prostitution is legal in certain sections but not others, gambling, and so on and so forth. Something about making it more family-friendly so that children and parents feel welcome. That's why it looks more like an amusement park. Atlantic City, New Jersey, had the amusement parks to begin with, but also eventually included gambling or gaming casinos. So they are rivals for the same tourists. At least, that's what I recall from "CSI". 🤔 Atlantic City and Atlanta have been mistaken for each other because of their similar names. Tourists have gotten confused when they requested tickets to the wrong city and, upon arrival, wonder why they don't see what they expected to see! 😁

Mark 13:38. Hey, serendipity! Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, also has an underground system for pedestrians! You can even go shopping in it. Maybe even dining! At one part, I entered it because while Dad was being examined by medical people, I went looking for the cafeteria, but I found one of the underground corridors instead. It is not all gray and dingy like he seems to be thinking. It was shades of beige and tan, well lit, carpeted, and it had good air flow. I stopped somewhere in the middle when I saw how the other end was and that it was just as far away as where I had entered. The gentle slopes cause visual confusion. So I didn't appease my curiosity then. By the time I made it back, they were done with him, so no cafeteria visit for me. (I enjoy comparing cafeterias to each other.) One time, Dad was shopping for work supplies. We parked inside a big building made for parking in. We used street crosswalks, but we also used enclosed bridges that connect some buildings, elevators, and underground passages. The bridges are like hallways with windows. The passages look like very long hallways without windows unless they are office or shop windows. 😎

Yes, Houston has a massive underground tunnel system filled with shops and restaurants. It's to escape the heat and they are quite nice. Minneapolis has a similar system, but it's sky bridges from building to building and the second floor of every building has shops and restaurants. It's to escape the extreme cold. Lol

There are in fact air condition tunnels in the business district of downtown Houston so that the suits can travel around on foot and temperature controlled areas that have stores and restaurants. I think there are over a mile of pedestrian paths in the city all connected together. Montreal has similar underground areas to keep out of the cold.

The Bow River flows through Calgary. It is glacier fed and drops about 4,000 feet over 350 miles. This results in a fast flow and there are several river rafting businesses that operate along the Bow (I rafted on the Bow River out of Kananaskis in 1983 - the water is freezing even in July). It is unlikely that a boat just went by since the river is not deep. Most places it is shallow enough to stand, but the speed of the water flow makes it very difficult.

Reunion Tower opened in 1978. However, it didn’t start really looking like the pictures they showed until the 1990’s from what I remember growing up there. All through the 80’s it was just white lights. Now it is super cool LED lights how that changes with seasons/sports events/ etc. Dallas has a very memorable skyline from all angles, but Reunion Tower is in the Southwest corner of downtown and that vantage point seems to be the one most photographers choose

Your question about Calgary and the river - that's ice on the river. It's cold up there!!

The Space Needle in Seattle was built in 1962 for the World's Fair. It was the first of the tower-type structures in the world but now has been surpassed by all the others in heighth.The observation deck is glass-floored and makes 1-360 degree rotation every hour. spectacular views.

Regarding Atlanta, the 3 clusters that are all part of the city are Downtown, Buckhead, Midtown and to a smaller extent Cumberland where the new Braves stadium is.

To answer your question, yes the sky is really that blue a lot of the time in San Diego. I currently live in Huntington Beach (outside LA) and the weather here is really hard to beat, 50's in the winter and usually not more than mid 80's in the summer. It can go days or months without rain also, which is really starting to concern me in our regards to move to Wales. If it rains a couple days in a row here we can get real cranky.

San Diegos buildings are limited to 500 feet due to the airport being just outside the city.

I'm from Atlanta, Georgia at 10:27 in the video is Buckhead and in the back is Atlanta.

I think a lot of cities were first established on rivers, because before railroads, that's how goods were transported. West of the Mississippi river you see less cities on rivers because when more people started moving west is when the railroad was built.
