10 American City Skylines At Twilight:
Jacksonville “Jax”, Florida
Cities have always conjured images of prosperity and promises of hope to those who dwell within their confines. As unique as cities are, whether big or small most cities of the world have one thing in common-a river. Also, like most cities, there is a street that parallels that river. Here in our hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. this thoroughfare is aptly called River Street. We call it Dream Street.
It was in the 19th century that Chicago became the birthplace of the skyscraper. Throughout the 20th century America would become home to thousands more. As the 20th century faded and the 21st century took over America ceded its skyscraper supremacy to Asia but remains the epitome of skyscraper culture.
