September 25, 200717 yr silly and interesting at the same time! isnt the stratosphere in vegas taller than the wynn? or doesnt that count?
September 25, 200717 yr Vegas has all ten of the top ten largest hotels in America (maybe the world..?). I wouldn't be surprised if the Wynn had the greatest square footage of all these.
September 25, 200717 yr ok, but isnt this about the tallest in each state? i guess the stratosphere doesnt count.
September 26, 200717 yr Well, that's interesting! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
September 26, 200717 yr Maine's tallest structure, at 204 feet, is the spire of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. http://www.portlandcathedral.org/cathedralOverview.html (By the way, for comparison purposes, the original east spire of Old Stone Church on Public Square (1855) was 228 feet tall - I couldn't find a height for the current steeple nor for the one at St. Michael's on Scranton, which claims the tallest title as well.)
September 26, 200717 yr ok, but isnt this about the tallest in each state? i guess the stratosphere doesnt count. NO! It's about me and my awesomeness. Sorry to disappoint you. Damn, sorry, I'm a rejuvenile and I haven't had my jungle juice today. I don't get why they wouldn't include the Stratosphere; It's the tallest and it's very functional. It has a hotel and I believe it has a rollercoaster on the top. That's strange.
September 26, 200717 yr The fact that they're all just in a row, makes it look like...well...a larger Columbus.
September 26, 200717 yr I don't get why they wouldn't include the Stratosphere; It's the tallest and it's very functional. The Stratosphere is not a building, it is a structure. There is a difference. This is why the Sears Tower still held the title for tallest building in North America even though the CN Tower in Toronto was the structure in the world. Then there is the radio antenna in North Dakota that is taller then both.
September 26, 200717 yr Why is Oklahoma's tallest on there twice? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
September 26, 200717 yr Why is Oklahoma's tallest on there twice? Two things I love about ColDayMan: 1) He knows the tallest building in Oklahoma. 2) He notices when it shows up twice.
September 26, 200717 yr Damn, if the Detroit Marriott was the tallest hotel in the U.S. I don't get why they wouldn't include the Stratosphere; It's the tallest and it's very functional. The Stratosphere is not a building, it is a structure. There is a difference. This is why the Sears Tower still held the title for tallest building in North America even though the CN Tower in Toronto was the structure in the world. Then there is the radio antenna in North Dakota that is taller then both. How lame! The stratosphere has the same use/function as many of those "buildings".

September 26, 200717 yr And to make this thread THAT much better, I'll be guessing by state. Now keep in mind, I could easily go to Emporis or whatever to look it up but I'm not since what fun would that be? From left to right... 1). Montana (?) 2). Georgia 3). Idaho 4). Delaware 5). Illinois 6). Hawaii 7). Louisiana 8 ). Florida 9). Oklahoma! 10). Colorado 11). Ohio 12). Rhode Island 13). Oregon 14). South Dakota (?) 15). Pennsylvania 16). South Carolina (?) 17). Tennessee 18). Texas 19). Vermont (?) 20). Kentucky 21). Virginia 22). Washington 23). North Dakota 24). Wisconsin 25). OKLAHOMA! 26). Wyoming 27). North Carolina 28). Apparently, Maine 29). New Jersey 30). New York 31). New Mexico 32). Arizona 33). Mississippi (?) 34). Minnesota 35). New Hampshire (?) 36). Alaska (?) 37). Nebraska 38). Nevada 39). Kansas 40). Alabama 41). Michigan 42). Indiana 43). Missourah 44). California 45). Arkansas 46). Iowa 47). Utah 48). Massachusetts 49). Maryland Where's West Virginia or Connecticut's tallest?!?!? Unless that "thing" between the Sears Tower and Hawaii's tallest is supposed to represent CT's tallest...which would be dumb.

September 26, 200717 yr I see the Beau Rivage got part of their name from Ohio's first internet community Rivage, Ohio.
September 28, 200717 yr Well I learned something today! I always thought that "Big Pink" (US Bancorp Tower) was Portland, Oregon's tallest building, but apparently Wells Fargo's got it beat by 10'!
September 30, 200717 yr in that case i learned something too. oregon's tallest is bugly :laugh: ! LOL I'm not really impressed either. But I find MOST skyscrapers pretty boring.
October 2, 200717 yr yeah.. skyscrapers are horrible But I find MOST skyscrapers pretty boring. me too
October 2, 200717 yr geezus pete! maybe not god, but koow i am beginning to think he's at least a distant relative of le courbusier. Maybe he can help me write my paper on Cor-BOOZER What an ugly image of our towers.
October 3, 200717 yr ^There's an attractive view of the Ren Cen? Quite frankly Medusa Cement did it better.
October 3, 200717 yr ^There's an attractive view of the Ren Cen? Quite frankly Medusa Cement did it better. I think thats the same mold they used for the Westin bonaventure in LA. It just as ugly as the Ren Center!
October 3, 200717 yr The Marriott portion is very similar to the Westin in Atlanta, too. Same architect. I've stayed in the Ren Cen three times and didn't realize they had a movie theater until the third time I went hahaha. The thing is terribly organized and the mall portion is absolutely dead, even the food court and those are supposed to be the last thing to go. The restaurant on the top two floors is pretty cool but you only have a view of the clouds; you can't see the city in the winter time from that high up. It's hard to figure out where the parking garage is and I parked in the wrong place and Detroit PD screamed at me for having my hands in my pockets while I was talking to them (wtf?). It's January, it's cold outside, it doesn't mean I have a gun. The best place to stay in Detroit I think is the Athenium if you can afford it. Ren Cen is fffaaarrr overpriced unless you get a deal on orbitz, etc in advance.
