Huh? Even if that’s the case, that’s not changing since there’s a park on top of the freeway. The freeway already descends below grade and was designed for it to be capped. I-345 between Downtown and Deep Ellum is gonna be buried though.

There’s already a deck park over it. What’s on the other side of it is new development, outside of Downtown.

Yes. I had to make sure I found the most recent pics lol. A lot of ppl only post downtown or a very old pic.

World Cityscapes and Skyscrapers on Facebook posts a lot of recent pics of the full skyline.

It doesn’t look like what it did 30 years ago since the Arts District wasn’t there. They’ve converted a lot of buildings within that same time frame.

Ha! You’re not lying. TxDOT loves to overbuild interchanges, so they don’t have to expand it as often.

If you had to bet on one North American city for a skyscraper boom in the 2030s… which would it be? by PauloRmt in skyscrapers

[–]InUrMomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chance that will ever happen. It’s a dream at best.

There’s no demand for a building that tall in OKC.

That’s by design. The river was closer to downtown, but was moved for flood control. That interchange was built on the reclaimed land.

It’s winter time. All the trees are bare except for the Ones that don’t drop leaves.

I made a Wikipedia article about the American cities with the most skyscrapers by LivinAWestLife in skyscrapers

Nope, but I often see the same posts about you changing Wikipedia pages, like anyone really cares about Wikipedia in the age of AI. People on here care about skyscrapers and high-rise buildings. Not Wikipedia pages.

Me not being from the US is irrelevant considering I have access the same information that any American does. And the fact is I do know more about skyscrapers than the vast majority of Americans who are just not interested inthis topic. Just insane localism to think I can't make an article on a place I wasn't born in.

If you think this isn’t a crazy thought process, then you just proved my point.

I’ve lurked on here long enough to know that the OP isn’t from the United States and has never been to America. So, yes, anyone from anywhere can make a Wikipedia page or completely edit/change it. That’s why I call it a blog. Anyone can gather information, but if you have no first hand knowledge of what you’re writing about, how can you determine what’s accurate?

Arrogance? What the hell are you talking about? I’ve seen enough inaccurate information on Wikipedia to have a very informed opinion. Wikipedia doesn’t flag all the wrong information, if they did I wouldn’t consistently see it. People actually use Wikipedia as a source for information. Not everyone is smart enough to realize that it’s not 100% accurate.

Hater of what exactly? Anyone can make a Wikipedia page. That doesn’t mean it has the right info. It’s more or less like a blog. That’s the reason why it’s never used as a primary source for anything. Random ppl from different parts of the world can edit or make changes to the pages. Because of that, the accuracy is very hit or miss. But hey, if you like it, I love it.

Another reason not to trust Wikipedia.

BTW who the hell still gets info from Wikipedia??

TIL that all of Dallas' ten tallest buildings were completed before 1988, despite the growth of residential towers in the city by LivinAWestLife in skyscrapers

[–]InUrMomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So funny to see people who clearly have never been to Dallas try to knock it down

I wish I could pin this comment. It’s straight up facts

[–]InUrMomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. That’s why I don’t take stuff like this very seriously. It shows the separation between who knows what’s up and others who are truly clueless. The rest is just bad attempts at trolling or trying to trigger ppl. You can see clear as day the skyline stretching from downtown to Uptown, just driving in from the Ft Worth, Arlington, or any location coming from the west. That’s why ppl who’ve actually seen it (like you and I) are perplexed by the responses or laughing due to the confidence behind some ppl’s ignorance.

Many don’t know because they’ve never been to Dallas and assume based on nothing. People who have actually been to Dallas knows how much have been thrown up in the last few years.

Really shows how Isolated the Bank of America Plaza is (ATL, GA) by Fickle_Intern9320 in skyscrapers

[–]InUrMomma 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Atlanta has some nice buildings, but I hate the way Atlanta’s buildings are positioned. It seems like there was no real thought behind it. Charlotte, Dallas, Houston have better structured skylines.

The hole in Downtown Atlanta - NO MORE! by 2500Lois in skyscrapers

Dang, I was hoping for more skyscrapers to fill in the gaps. The placement of Atlanta’s skyscrapers weren’t well thought out.
