Sears Tower = U.S. Steel Tower on STEROIDS
 

I mentioned this on another topic, but consider...

:shrug:

uh, I guess the color is similar

- Same color/dark and imposing
- Both the dominant buildings in their respective skylines
- Both built in the '70s
- U.S. Steel Tower looks "normal"/Sears Tower looks jagged and muscular

I don't see it, but i love em both.

I don't see it either. The only thing they seem to have in common is that they are the same color...built in the same era and the tallest building in their respective cities.

Sears might be "on steroids," but USX could definitely take it in a brawl. I actually made a thread about this once and I think that it was fairly universally agreed that, while not the largest, most forumers would really not like to run into USX in a dark alleyway.

i don't see it either.

but i do dearly love both of these magnificent skyscrsapers.

i don't see it either... U.S. Steel has an exoskeleton

Kinda like a giraffe vs. a Rhino.

I don't mind the topic, just wanted to tell that
I love it tall, black and boxy!!!!!:D

*BLACK BOX DEFENDER*:tup:

That's a stretch.

what are we suppose to see besides the color

don't see it...

They are both big, black and in your face.

^The Sears Tower is like the Starr Jones cousin to this thing...

If anything, US Steel Tower is more similar to the John Hancock Tower in Chicago moreso than Sears...

^Tha's kinda what I was thinking too.

i wish i knew Star Jones' cousin...:shrug:

I don't see it really. I can understand where you're coming from, but you could practically say that with every black box building (ooh, alliteration). I mean I could say the Sears Tower is this on steroids and that would be just as acceptable.
