Our skyline is turning into something very impressive!!!
All we need is a makeover for that medium sized pole downtown. It seems like all other major citys have that 1 building you have to see as a tourist. As a tourist to our city the Calgary tower wouldnt be in my top 5!

You knock the Calgary tower too much. It is a symbol of its time, and is even better to be in now with all the buildings surrounding it. It is the perfect example of how Calgary continues to grow.

Am I the only one noticing bigearl's continuous self promotion of Flickr? If every member started doing this the forum would be unreadable.

I don't mind the tower, sure time may have passed it by and it's no longer in the top 5 in height anymore.
Nothing beats having it lit up during the playoffs.

Here is my tribute to our local Architecture.
As an avid skyscraper enthusiast, I have taken literally thousands of building photos.
