Good point about San Antonio's stubby skyline and the fact that no building dares challenge the primacy of Torre Americana. Seattle and Calgary are perfect examples of "flying saucer" observation towers built in the 60s coexisting peacefully with forests of modern megaliths. I understand why the old Hyatt Regency near the Alamo was cut off at the knees so as not to cast a shadow over the Alamo (although I don't agree with that sentiment--no disrespect to the Alamo). Does anyone out there know what exactly is the standing law/edict that is to account for such a meager skyline for our fair city? Perhaps we can overcome this sentimentality like Philly did regarding the Wm Penn statue atop their city hall.
