Guy says Buffalo has better skyline than #ROC. Yeah, no
When I was a kid I called Times Square the "rabbit ear building" Rachel Barnhart added,

@rachbarnhart #ROC has a spaceship, the batman bldg, and a Roman God flying overhead. Nothing in Buffalo's skyline can compete with that!
:)
Rochester has the best, most distinctive skyline in Upstate NY. Buffalo and Syracuse have blah skylines. Albany's is okay. No wonder they borrowed ours!

Yikes: Syracuse Ironman medals display Rochester's skyline!
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Since when did downtown Syracuse have an arched suspension bridge over a river?
Or a skyscraper with a top that looks like the point of a pencil?
Anyone who won a medal in Sunday's Ironman 70.3 Syracuse triathlon might be wondering if they were in the right place.
The medals read, "Ironman 70.3 Syracuse," but the skyline displayed on them screams Rochester. (OOPS)

Funny but kind of sad for Syracuse.

Having lived in Syracuse for a number of years,I am sure they could have found an appropriate location to use and reproduce.I am appalled that this was done. :playnice:
