a city in Texas was scammed into building the world’s littlest skyscraper by not noticing the measurements were in inches, not feet (imperial measurements, not even once)

i am gobsmacked at how high we were. i'm always saying we're barely qualified to be a city but the rest of these states are lacking

The Wilshire Grands height is a joke. The roof is 172 feet below that spire. It's not even the highest roof in LA.

i mean I get that half these states don't have a population big enough to need a 400ft tall building but if your state is being beaten by the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception you need to rethink things....

You gave me a posting idea: Imagine what highest point in Iowa looks like. Are you imagining it?... - Hexbear
