It also has the RJ Reynolds building, the model for the empire state building.

You know, just from reading this thread, I'm way more inclined to listen to the guy who has spent the better part of 3 years travelling the country taking thousands pictures of almost every single major metropolitan area and has several sites dedicated to that interest than I am to some 18 year old kid who's at NCSU majoring in Meteorology.


But, that's just me.



What does a guy who takes pictures of city skylines for a living know what he's talking about, anyway?

it's all relativity though

Winston has the second tallest building in the state, and a thirties-era art deco masterpiece, and that blue glass thing which draws the eye despite lack of height. It also has better spacing (since Raleigh's soon-to-be-three tall buildings are all clustered together and in a line). If a 20+ story building actually goes up on Hillsborough as is planned, that ought to help things out.
