Discussion could fit in with the SSP thread or the photography thread, but whenever discussion over city skylines comes up there seems to be a few CP'ers interested. So after SebC's post in the photography thread, I'd though I'd see if anyone's interested.
His post about Charlotte as a comparable to Calgary had me google imaging that city to see for myself.
This picture makes it look weird. A few tall buildings that would stack up against the Bow tower and others, then almost zero medium buildings, a smattering of tiny buidlings, a massive football stadium, and the rest of the space appears to look like a zombie apocalypse rolled through ten years ago, leaving behind overgrown shrubs and deserted streets.
I think with America's disastrous recession and their love of state of the art football/baseball stadiums, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of American cities have this vibe going on.
