Skyscraper Day When : September 3rd Skyscraper Day is a day to appreciate and admire the world's tallest skyscrapers. Skyscrapers are truly engineering and architectural marvels. In many crowded cities, space is in short supply, and real estate prices are ever increasing. Building "up" becomes more and more logical. As technical capabilities in construction improved, skyscrapers have become taller and taller. In addition, there is a certain prestige to have one of the tallest structures in the world in your city. World's Tallest Buildings Building Country Height(Feet) Year Built 1. Taipei 101 Taipei, Taiwan 1,671 2004 2. Petronas Tower 1 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 1,483 1998 3. Petronas Tower 2 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 1,483 1998 4. Sears Tower Chicago, Il 1,451 1974 5. Jin Mao Building Shanghai, China 1,381 1999 6. Two International Finance Hong Kong, China 1,362 2003 7. CITIC Plaza Guangzhou, China 1,283 1996 8. Shun Hing Square Shenzhen, China 1,260 1996 9. Empire State Building New York, New York 1,250 1931 10. Central Plaza Hong Kong, China 1,227 1992 A Tall Debate: There is some disagreement over how to measure the height of skyscrapers. At issue, is whether to measure the height of flagpoles and antenna atop most tall buildings. Have a very happy Skyscraper Day.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide poolsharkycat, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!
