The Medowlands Xandu,if you never heard of it,it's an enterment center bulit in a space that is way too small for it and it is UGLY.I know because I live in back of it and it looks some imposter hippies made the outside barf red :lol: .Worst piece of Suburban Sprawl I've ever seen.

Good, but what is the point of this topic? You realise that 90% of this forum wouldn't ever get a chance to get close that sight? (Either don't want to or don't have the time/money for it)

This topic is for the "10%" who can get a chance to go to this.

Sure, let's start individual topics for local ugly buildings which we don't like and let others not know where they are (e.g where the hell is this building, as you didn't give us an exact location of it)

Suggestion: you might get more responses from a local forum from your region.

If you took some time to look in the background you would see New York City. :roll: :roll: .

No offence, but why should an European know how NYC should look like? I mean, can an American (US inhabitant) recognise the skyline of Warsaw or Prague?

Anyway, I'm going to let this topic die. Have fun bumping it.

Yes yes, we all know what NYC looks like, the Manhattan part that is. You people won't show the other (way bigger) areas of NYC to the rest of the world. So indeed, we know what it looks like :rolleyes:
And because a few people visit a place doesn't mean that EVERYONE knows what it looks like. There are still people who don't have money or aren't interested in going there.

The US? Do you know how much it costs to go to the US? I've barely got enough money ot live on, never mind going galavanting around the world!
So, explain good sir, how I should recognise the NYC skyline.

Let's see...Warsaw and Prague...population of 1.7 million and 1.2 million respectively...45 years deep behind the Iron Curtain.
NYC...population of 8.2 million...~70 years, and counting, as the the most famous city of the United States of America. The question isn't "Why should an European know?" but "How can he not know?"

I wonder why I should know the skylines of any of these cities if I only know one skyline in the entire world, and that is just because all buildings in that city have 10 floors max and there is one skyscraper.
Also, using wikipedia is cheating.

May I state that I don't give a flying craip about skylines of major cities? They look all the same to me. Especially cities in yankeestan. They have skyscrapers there, whereas European cites have mostly television towers to mark the skylines.

Also, I hope my point was made clear this topic is made of utter fail and loose.

Furthermore, this is the last post I'm making here and this topic is going to be ignored as it doesn't make any farking sense. Enjoy your failure.
