July 14, 20222 yr For a 3 million MSA, StL has a terrible skyline. Part of that is driven by the second skyline cluster in Clayton sucking the wind out of downtown St Louis' sails, but honestly other than the Wainwright (which isn't even really a component of the skyline because it's so short), there aren't really any noteworthy skyscrapers. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
July 14, 20222 yr Clayton definitely pulled much of what-would-be downtown St. Louis away from the city. Clayton is the largest suburban CBD in the Midwest and it's at the expense of the main city. Though even if you combine St. Louis and Clayton's buildings into a single skyline, it'd still be smaller than Columbus or Cleveland and would basically tie Cincinnati with 400+ footers. The Arch did a number on the psyche of building tall, I suppose. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 14, 20222 yr Always thought it was odd that St. Louis never saw construction of a historic skyscraper (other than the Southwestern Bell building which isn't all that tall). Kansas City had more than their fair share in the 1930s. I don't think Clayton would have been pulling away that much activity in the 20s or 30s. Columbus sure lucked out with Leveque.
July 19, 20222 yr Beautiful pictures, I'm just blown away by One Hundred Above the Park (apartments) in the St Louis - Central West End picture! Never knew St Louis had anything like it and that's a tower I can easily imagine in East Asia or Canada and looks much taller than 385 feet. But I also like the Best Buy sign placement in one of the Clayton skyline pictures 😋
