Match? That is kind of the point (no pun intended)--that it should be unique. Right now Chicago has zero spires in its skyline, so it will be a nice addition.

jesse, i guess it could be except you don't see any north michigan ave landmarks like the trib tower or the wrigley building. i was thinking maybe it was taken from somewhere around the tribune or nbc plaza but i can't tell.

but a second look reveals there's no way a photo could be taken at that angle from the top o' the 'cock.

Oh yeah, Paterson's definitely a nice looking city, and the same with Passaic (particularly Passaic Park)... it's a mix of 19th century Victorians and old Tudors, stone Beaux-Art revival, and whatever stuff from the 18th century is left. Plus there's some great nature mixed in, and it's all been pretty much untouched from development.

I always said those two cities are ripe for revival due to its rich architecture and proximity to NYC, but the corruption is wayyy too extreme and so they're both messes infrastructure and crime wise.

I've tried finding a good picture of Beijing, but haven't been able to find one. Beijing has beautiful buildings and landmarks for sure, but as a whole city it's a stylistic mess. Nothing coheres or works as a complimentary skyline. Now Shanghai, on the other hand, does work. It looks like something out of a fifties sci-fi film.

It's a great little town with the cheese factory just outside (all-Gruyere fondue is awesome decadence), and a beautiful castle on the top of the hill.

Oddly, it's also the location of HR Giger's museum/studio, and a bar he designed, which is worth it for the WTF factor

OK, they are beautiful. One of my favourite things about The Apprentice is the aerial shots of London between scenes, and one of my favourite things is the view over London you get flying in to London City Airport from the north, over the Emirates/the City/St Pauls, looking right down the Thames then banking to go past Canary Wharf. Those photos are like a better version of doing some of that in real life.
