I realized today while I was driving down Cedar, with the towers directly ahead off in the distance, that even after 4 years here I still haven't experienced the big-city part of Cleveland except for occasionally driving through/past. I don't really think anything of it when I see the towers, even though I grew up in a city with no skyline.
The question is, am I blasé because of TV/movies, which shove skylines at us whenever possible, or am a still a country bumpkin who doesn't really believe in the big buildings except as painted scenery?
I think it's the second; big land features impress me, but I don't think anything when I see a big building. I think the scale of really tall buildings is one of those things that hasn't actually sunk in yet.
