I thought I would work on a smaller skyline for a change, so I updated the page for Sacramento, California's capital. It was a lot more interesting than I thought!
Sacramento's an important city with a noticeably smaller skyline than most other 2-3 million metro areas. Its the largest skyline in the Central Valley, which isn't saying much as all the other cities (Fresno, Modesto) have non-existent skylines and embody the flat, sprawly urban landscape of many Californian cities.
I was surprised to learn that Sacramento skipped the 60s-70s towers that happened in other US cities. Its tallest towers were built in the late 1980s-early 1990s, so its skyline looks very postmodernist in comparison to other cities. Also unlike other American cities, Sacramento kept building office towers during the 1990s. They weren't all postmodernist though; the Park Tower, the 4th tallest building, is noticeably inspired by Art Deco.
