This is kinda dumb, but, how about this?

This is kind of a teaser of something I am working on! It would be funny to see a couple hundred of the pop up along main street!

I have several ideas for good buildings to do. Once I get the BAT figured out I will try to contribute to making them, but until then:
Sorry for posting so many pictures, but I know that multiple angles will be helpful to the creators.
The Cathedral of Learning, America's tallest educational building, Pittsburgh, PA.

Top detail:

Although already mentioned, I second the request for PPG Plaza and Fifth Avenue place in Pittsburgh. Other buildings that would be great to see from Pittsburgh are ONe Oxford, One Mellon, and the USX tower:
One Oxford:

One Mellon:

USX Tower:

<ahttp://www.skyscraperpicture.com/pittsburgh07-1.jpg><ahttp://www.skyscraperpicture.com/pittsburgh05-1.jpg>
The USX Tower should also be transport enabled as a large subway hub.

As for non-Pittsburgh buildings:

The BMW Building, Berlin, Germany:

The world's ultimate driving machine...

Ukraine Hotel, Moscow, Russian Federation:

The FBI Building, Washington, D.C.:

The FBI Building would of course increase police coverage and safety.

Good luck.

I am just a country girl and would love to see more country style homes and buildings. I really want some nice log homes, A frame homes, country stores, hay and wheat fields and a Gin for the cotton fields.

Simply a must....

The newly planned Burj Dubai Tower, Dubai UAE. Set to be completed in 2006 this mammoth is going to shatter the worlds tallest record. It looks like one of those buildings someone puts together for simcity which is amazing but is hard to believe could ever really be built. But in this case they are going to build it. Simtropolis is loaded with just the sort of talant it takes to make this one happen for all us SC fans & I know this challange will prove irrestable. 35.gif Here is some info on the project:

Can someone make an amusement park? It would be quite a project, but would be great... have a few roller coasters, one of those rides that takes you up and drops you down, a looping starship, a train, and of course some buildings and a shopping area.

Another goodlooking tower in downtown Atlanta.

Skyline of Atlanta. Personally I find this to be one of the few cities in the World to have a high concentration of goodlooking skyscrapers. A picture for the inspiration.

A REAL central station.

A central station is, in my opinion, a traffic station where all sorts of transport come together. Not only railroad and bus, but also monorail, elevated railways and subways. Could it be possible to make 1 building that hosts all of these services? Please consider!

i was tihnking of something along those lines... a central transit hub type building. i dont think i can do it though, a bit too difficult. not sure if you could combine subway rail and bus together too.

I'm trying to do my hometown in Simcity and am not good at all with BAT .. but would like to have the Epic Center which is the tallest building in Kansas.. sadly at 22 stories. Here is a link to the skyscrapers.com site which has a couple of pics.

http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=125730

There is a parking garage attached to the building and an atrium which angles out.. in the original plans there was to be TWO towers with the points facing each other.. that is what I would like to see.. not the single building. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! <ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif>

Thanks<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif><ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif><ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif><ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif>

Austin ... Skyscrapers??? I think they only have one tall building and it's not very exciting. Although the UT tower has a lot of character, as does the rest of the campus. I love the UT football stadium (yes I'm an Aussie, but I visit Austin a couple of times a year, even have a Longhorns sticker on my laptop<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>).

These were votes from all over the United States and World.<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/35.gif> The Lower Manhatted<ahttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/34.gif> whatever they call themselves and the illustrious Gov.
