the skyline sux as does the rest of the sprawly, 70's-built city and the land around it. ok you got the riverwalk but come on... that's all?
is there any other way to say it? unimpressive in every way. 2 or 3 decent looking towers from a city of near 2 mil? most suburbs in the US have a better assortment of towers.
i know it's not the heart of your downtown but this could just as well be Fargo

1) Tower of the Americas - 750'
2) Marriott Rivercenter - 546'
3) Weston Centre - 444'
4) Grand Hyatt (under construction) - 427'
5) Tower Life - 404'
6) Bank of America - 387'
7) Nix - 375'
8) Towers at Park Lane - 368' (not DT)
9) Marriott Riverwalk - 350ish, I think.
10) Crown Plaza - 325'
11) Frost Bank - 300'
12) Milam - 280'
13) Drury Plaza - 278' (the bldg JohnR stayed in)
There is several more, but the point is there are a lot more than 2 or 3 towers. You may not like them and that is fine. A lot of people say the DT is drab and one color, but there are towers. Somehow, I don't think Fargo has one tower that is equal to the above list. SA has one of the most vibrant, historic, culture filled, exciting downtowns of any city in the U.S. That is a fact.
