Who needs a waterfront skyline? We have an emerging Pizza Corner skyline!

The city has gotten a lot more built up over the past few years. This pizza corner shot would have had almost a small town feel a few years ago, but now that is completely gone.

Not bad, but there is a weird "SimCity" vibe going on...

A family of giants could eat dinner off that tabletop.

You have to admit that it is a whole lot better than the skyline in the early 1970's when the tallest buildings were the Scotia Square Duke and Barrington towers. Too bad this wasn't the skyline back in the early 1970's, just imagine what it would look like now.

Not having 30+ storey towers in downtown Halifax doesn't bother me, I think the density is more important (along with the history and scenery). I have been to many cities with tall buildings, such as Toronto, but building density stands out more than the height, in my opinion. Toronto not only has tall buildings but has a high density of buildings, on the other hand, a 50 storey tower in Mississauga is hardly noticeable because the towers are so spread out.

I personally think the pics look great, though admittedly I don't place a lot of value on a 'pretty skyline'. What matters to me more is how the city works from the ground level and that there is a good mix of quality buildings, both old and new.

So... tabletop or not makes no difference to me whatsoever.

Plus, I find that the tabletop really only shows from perspectives that most people don't see, such as the tops of private buildings. When you look at the skyline from the harbour (i.e. the "true" skyline), it is actually appears quite varied.

I don't think it looks like a tabletop. To me, there's a reasonable amount of variety in those images.

Yup.
