I too hate the north and south views, but I'll deal with it if it means we get supertalls and get a skyline that resembles the true economy of the city. I totally understand that a skyline isn't a big dick contest, but for better or worse, some people's impression of a city is based on a quick look at the skyline. I'm happy that Philly's is growing, regardless of how. Also, it's so good when viewing from 1) the west, and 2) the south west (when entering the schuylkill from Vare ave) that I can live with hating the view from south.

I love the views from the South and North of the skyline with the view from South Philly being the favorite because you see the very dense midrise cluster from parts of center city like rittenhouse, and you get to the see a panoramic view of the skyline in it's entirety which it spans almost 4 miles horizontally from old city to all the way to western edge of university city. This building fills a gap and looks great from the South. In fact, could someone please post a pic of panoramic shot from the stadiums please? I haven't seen a pic of that view yet ever since the spire has been topped off and in the building's current state.
