I think mine is Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte.

[nostyle]

Mine used to be BofA Charlotte. It's just so elegant and smooth. But lately Hearst Tower has really won me over. It's less smooth and more BAM!

Aside from my Charlotte bias, my other favorite southern skyscrapers include Wachovia Tower in Winston-Salem, BellSouth in Nashville, and SunTrust in Atlanta.

[Jasonhouse]

One Atlantic Center.

[Daniel_18]

I also like Wachovia Financial Center.

[nostyle]

Which one? The one in Winston-Salem?

[Daniel_18]

The one in my avatar!

I like several skyscrapers in the south, mainly the ones in Charlotte and Atlanta.

The one in my avatar!

I apologize. See, I'm on a high-speed 56K ISP. In other words, I have compressed graphics, unless I choose to load something in full quality. So to me, your avatar looked like this:

Lamar Building, Augusta & BoA, Atlanta.

You have Netzero HiSpeed?

[nostyle]

yup yup. :)

[Daniel_18]

Me too. :D



I use Netscape instead of Internet Explorer so the pictures are of perfect quality.

[nostyle]

perfect quality? Never used Netscape, but right now if I want to see a full-quality image, I just right-click it and hit "show full quality", and it'll load for me.

[Daniel_18]

I know. It's annoying, that's why I converted to Netscape.

[nostyle]

so you're saying that using netscape with Netzero High Speed you get full-quality images at high speed?

[Daniel_18]

:yes:

[nostyle]

Well, I just tried out my Netscape, and it appears it does not allow for compressed graphics...the result is it's slower.

I think you should try IE.

[Rail Claimore]

Suntrust Plaza - Atlanta

You downloaded the complete version?

[vjhe]

A tie between SunTrust in Atlanta and Bank of America in Charlotte. But just for fun, I flipped a coin and Suntrust came out on top.

[nostyle]

Damn coins...

:)

[Lakelander]

My top 5 choices

1. Hearst Tower - Charlotte
2. Orange County Courthouse - Orlando
3. BOA - Jacsksonville
4. Bellsouth (Batman) - Nashville
5. New glass tower (name ?) next to Four Seasons - Miami

[havok100]

Lakelander you mean the one with the Concave glass front. A true beauty and also my new favorite,
5. Espirito Santo Plaza - Miami
http://www.lera.com/espirito.JPG

[nostyle]

That is pretty funky...not sure if I like it yet. Got more pics?

Looks straight out of the UAE...

[Daniel_18]

It's okay. Not as great as Wachovia or One Biscayne, but still great.

[Lakelander]

That's it havok100, thanks for posting the pic.

[Rural King]

The Porter Building in Memphis is mine.

[Jasonhouse]

UAE? I think that it is very 70s and 80s Miami, wrapped together in a new way.

[Jazzman]

Ugh. I'm not too good with skyscrapers and their names, but there's one in midtown Atlanta, probably about 900 ft. It's got a spiral on it. Anyway, that's my favorite one in the South.

[Pride]

Hmmm. . .I probably couldn't narrow it down to just a certain favorite. I have so many that I like, there's no way to list just one. However, here's a couple of my favorite Southern skyskyscrapers:

Four Seasons (Miami)

Westin Peachtree (Atlanta)
http://www.z93.com/images/plaza.gif

Bank of America (Atlanta)

BellSouth (Nashville)

Charlotte Plaza (Charlotte)

[Daniel_18]

^Nashville's looks nice.

[Jazzman]

I was talking about the Bank of America, apparently.

[supastar]

Either BofA/Atlanta or One Atlantic Center/Atlanta.

Dude, you've got truly classical tastes. From Memphis, my favorite would be the Clark, despite its mundane East-Memphis surroundings. A beautiful building that would have really added a different dimension if it were downtown.

Overall, I think my favorite would be one of the pyramid-topped ones in Atlanta, not the BOA, but the one in the background in Pride's post above.

[Lexy]

Of course its the Bellsouth Tower in Nashville, but my other is the Lexington Financial Center in Lexington, KY. So sleek and elegant at night.

It's on the right....................>>>

[brickell]

BoA in Miami was my favorite but Espirito Santo is quickly replacing it. No suprise that both of these buildings are stunning at night. That's when I do most of my sightseeing.

[DrumCorpsAlum]

Mine would definately be BofA, Charlotte. Honorable mentions, BofA-Dallas, Hearst Tower, Modis Tower, Fountain Place, and Westin Peachtree.

EDIT... How could I forget Bellsouth Tower!

[Sunstorm]

My favorite Southeastern skyscrapers are:

1) Espirito Santo in Miami
2) BellSouth in Nashville
3) Hearst in Charlotte
4) Four Seasons, Miami
5) Westin Peachtree, Atl

My opinion of the most overrated skyscrapers are:

1) tie, Watchovia, Miami
1) tie, BoA, Charlotte (too froufrou)
1) tie, BoA, Atl
4) BoA, Mia
5) Atlantic Center, Atl

Just my opinions, for whatever they're worth.

[p-snack]

191 Peachtree- ATL
Espirito Santo- Miami- ATL needs more of these!

I'm all about nostalgia, so here's my top five:

Three old ones:
Merchants National Bank Building (now Regions Bank) in Mobile

Under Construction in 1929:

Lincoln American in Memphis
http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/758/72memphis.jpg


Two new ones:
BofA - Charlotte

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/544/15untitled-1_copy4.jpg

BofA - ATL

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/585/72lowermidtown.jpg

I really like the crowns on both of the above.

In a few years, my new fav will probably be:

RSA TOWER!
http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/610/28mobile-rsabattlehouse1.jpg

[yadkinv]

The O'Hanlon Building and the GMAC Tower, both in Winston-Salem, and a couple at Tysons Corner, Virginia. I'd love to post the photos, but it's still a mystery to me.

:nuts:

Ha Ha, Daniel. Very funny.:rolleyes:

Actually, the buildings in my overrated list are all quite nice. I guess I feel that they are a little overhyped.

Some more buildings that I like that I didn't list earlier are BoA Center in Orlando, Promenade II in Atl, and the pic of Charlotte Center posted by Pride is really cool looking as well.

[dvstampa]

I have several favorites....and one that I'm just facinated by.

My first favorite is the Sun Trust Tower in Tampa...
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/8tampa_dt_6.jpg

My second fav is the Am South building in Tampa...
http://media.tbo.com/photos/community/2003/tampa13.jpg

I also like the Wachovia building in downtown Winston-Salem, the Hearst Tower in Charlotte, and the Bell South building in Nashville.

One building that isn't my favorite, but just cool looking...IMO...is the BOA "Beer Can" building, also in downtown Tampa.
http://media.tbo.com/photos/community/2003/tampa12.jpg

[Sunstorm]

Suntrust and AmSouth are really cool (esp Sun Trust). I forgot about those two.

[Myles Away]

I like the Reynolds Building. It looks northern in style. Most southern buildings only have decorative materials on two or three sides. Reynolds Building has decoration on all sides.

[Spartan]

Hearst Tower in Charlotte.

BofA in Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Charlotte tie second for me.

[Detroit teen]

My personal Favs are the "Batman Building" in Nashville and The Westin Peachtree in Atlanta. I prob only like the Westin cuz its like The Ren Cen, but to me the ren cen looks alot dirtier.... I dunno why but o well so yea those are my favs.
