No one is arguing chicago over NY in terms of density and bulk, but in terms of beauty and style it wins anyday imo. please take the time to look at these large images and see for yourself. http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7070/2125688782750007a80ebvl9.jpg https://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d119/chicagostyle123/skyscrapercity%20posts/LincolnparkNorthSkyline.jpg?t=1198234179 http://srika.com/img/chicago_hdr/chicago_hdr_night04.jpg http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/638/23501147572fee68d622bkm4.jpg http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/4459/pano10croppedpp2ej7.jpg

very cool city, lots going on, nice work.

i'm going to mexico for holiday soon these pics made me more excited.

i had no idea this had started up again, i'm not worthy, i'm not worthy, i'm not worthy! Jawdropping.

something gritty!

very nice collection of BATs and placement, cool idea using jeronijs walls as retaining walls. Wouldn't mind seeing some layout pics from a zoom out.

thanks everyone, look for update with closeups coming soon.

Your city is so great, is it hard to find enough variety of BATs that blend or look natural in the middle eastern setting, i'm sure your lot editing has helped.

i really love the special lot editing and creations, really sets your cj apart, nice work.

thanks for then birthday wishes everyone, it's actually 24, not that it matters too much '

city vs city threads are dumb, NY is bigger by epic amounts and much more notorious. NY will always own chicago in terms of epicness. As someone who lives in chicago our best attributes are the amazing architecture, imo more varried and diverse than NY with more supertalls and the many distinct neighborhoods each with it's own identity, not to mention you can rent in a great neighborhood for under 1000$ a month easy AMAZING BIG PICS http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7070/2125688782750007a80ebvl9.jpg my office in on the 26th floor of the curved building above.

very colorful city, that looks realistic from region view, nice trans map as well, the variery of single family homes is great

lol, as someone who lives in chicago, the high rise market has been amazingly resislient, that being said i number of approved project will likely never get built due to tailing demand (mandarin oriental comes to mind). However that doesn't mean that dozens of impressive talls and 3 supertalls aren't underconstruction, Spire sales abroad have been brisk and likely benefiting from a weak dollar. Chicago is an international city and will become more so as foreigners look to the city as an investment oppurtunity given the weak dollar and low prices. Off the top of my head, Trump, Aqua, Spire, Waterview, One museum Park, 300n Lasalle all under construction and will be completed, however projects waiting in the wings will likely not be built typical eb and flow of the real estate market. BTW i much prefer skyscrapercity to skyscraperpage.

It'd be like going up to a gay person and calling them "heterosexually challenged." But then again, people are idiots, so it could still happen. quote> I get what you're saying, but you chose a bad example. Most people don't consider being gay a "choice". "Homosexual" is the PC term for gays.... so I suppose "aspiritual" or something like that might work for 'atheists'. Still, "spiritually challenged" sounds much more like a (stereo)typical PC term, so it fits the joke better.quote> we pefer to be called godless atheist heathens

anything by Creed.

you make me want to get into working with the LE again, very cool stuff going on here.
