Well considering one of it's purposes is a lightning rod, I surely hope it attracts lightning!

Toronto is a very gritty city.

Wow, that picture makes Toronto look like some type of Resort City with all the boats up at the front of the picture, and the water in the foreground.

My personal ranking of skylines by Natural Asthethics is:

1. Calgary
2. Vancouver
3. Halifax
4. Montreal
5. Niagara Falls


If I am ranking skylines on Hugeness and Size of Skyscrapers:

1. Toronto
2. Calgary
3. Montreal
4. Vancouver
5. Edmonton / Mississauga


Edmonton's skyline is bigger than Mississauga. However Mississauga has taller buildings.

Toronto is developing it's very own midtown, just like Manhattan!



Just a couple of buildings, now though. It's getting there.

Toronto, is there anything it can't do.

Are you actually paid by the local tourism board to post 24/7 about toronto ?

that could be the "boring advertising job" you were talking about a few years back

Well from that angle Toronto looked 'gritty'.

I didn't mean any harm.

We don't have mountains in the background or a "great bridge"..

(That was actually a conversation where Toronto lost points because of it's lack of a bridge)

Yeah we don't have a bridge and mountains, so I guess we'll have to compensate by having many more and far taller buildings built to enhance the skyline.

Which is not a bad thing, cause I love skyscraper construction.

Although I will admit bridge constuction is very interesting too!
