Only a pultry 10 so far for me - 14, 17, 32, 36, 53, 58, 61, 67, 72 and 96. They are buildings in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. I just don't get to the cities with the taller skyscrapers. That has to change!!

urbanactivistTX, the CN tower is considered a tower but not a building or skyscraper. The CN tower would be the 2nd tallest structure on this list if it was a building or included self-supporting structures. It is a television antenna and the few floors at the observation deck level doesn't qualify as an occupied building. This is an argument that erupts on many of these threads.
