1980’s Skylines Exposed in Black & White!
I shot these on trips to these various cities back in the day. Some could be from the 1990’s but the majority were shot when I was a teenager the 80's.

New York City







Toronto





Dallas





Pittsburgh





Cleveland





Columbus



Cincinnati

Amazing photos.
Toronto's skyline is still impressive although it's the 1980's.

I think it was '87 but I'm not certain. In another picture from the set, the Skydome is under construction, without the dome on top.

I'm guessing the Cincinnati pics are somewhere between 1986-1988? P&G headquarters are finished, but no sign yet of the Scripps Center.

I still can't believe how much Riverfront Stadium absolutely dominated the skyline in its heyday...

Lots of great shots. Must've been an interesting time to tour around and see the massive nationwide boom of scrapers going up in every central business district.

Cool shots. Being in B&W really adds to the historical feeling.
