Maybe this is more to scale between those two.

That's a great skyline shot of the Big Apple and it brings back a lot of memories. Those are the two cities that I've spent the most time in over the last 14 years and I never thought I would say I was fond of New York but it has grown on me. My husband is a born and bred New Yorker and has been my personal guide over 18 visits. He was just a few blocks from the World Trade Center when the first plane went in on 9/11 and then he hosted me on my first visit there a few weeks later. I always felt a little cheated because I never got to see the twin towers while they were still standing but I've been able to watch the site's resurrection. The rise of the super tall skinny towers will be awesome to see. So much history there.

Only Calgary and Toronto are there now. Vancouver has arrived and Edmonton will be there in a big way soon. We have Winnipeg and Quebec City gearing up too, exciting times.

dlueng, why can't you come up with good stuff to say without trolling other peoples comments?

Do it for Hamilton. Our effort failed. (We could have had a super tall. I get tear-y eyed just thinking about it.)

It was a Harry Stinson project, so it was basically doomed from the start. The block is now getting a few 15-30 floor buildings though thanks to more competent developers.
