Pompano Beach is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. It is located along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Fort Lauderdale and 36 miles north of Miami. The nearby Hillsboro Inlet forms part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to 6.14 million people in 2020. As of the 2020 census, the population was 112,046, making it the sixth-largest city in Broward County, the ninth-largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area, and the 20th-largest city in Florida.
Pompano Beach Airpark, located within the city, is the home of the Goodyear Blimp
Pompano Beach is currently in the middle of a redevelopment process to revitalize its beachfront and historic downtown. The city has also been listed as one of the top real estate markets, being featured in CNN, Money and the Wall Street Journal as one of the country's top vacation home markets. Pompano Beach Airpark, located within the city, is the home of the Goodyear Blimp Spirit of Innovation.
Its name is derived from the Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), a fish found off the Atlantic coast.
There had been scattered settlers in the area from at least the mid-1880s, but the first documented permanent residents of the Pompano area were George Butler and Frank Sheen and their families, who arrived in 1896 as railway employees. The first train arrived in the small Pompano settlement on February 22, 1896. It is said that Sheen gave the community its name after jotting down on his survey of the area the name of the fish he had for dinner. The coming of the railroad led to development farther west from the coast. In 1906 Pompano became the southernmost settlement in newly created Palm Beach County. That year, the Hillsboro Lighthouse was completed on the beach.
On July 3, 1908, a new municipality was incorporated in what was then Dade County: the Town of Pompano. John R. Mizell was elected the first mayor. In 1915, Broward County was established, with a northern boundary at the Hillsboro Canal. Thus, within eight years, Pompano had been in three counties. Pompano Beach experienced significant growth during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. In 1940, the U.S. Supreme Court disallowed forced confessions in Chambers v. Florida, a dispute stemming from a murder in Pompano Beach.
Following the population boom due to World War II, in 1947 the City of Pompano merged with the newly formed municipality on the beach and became the City of Pompano Beach. In 1950, the population of the city reached 5,682. Like most of southeast Florida, Pompano Beach experienced great growth in the late 20th century as many people moved there from northern parts of the United States. A substantial seasonal population also spends its winters in the area. The city of Pompano Beach celebrated its centennial in 2008.

Two Prudential Plaza (built 1990) , Aon Center (built 1973) , Carbide and Carbon building (built 1929).
The John Hancock Center is a 100-story, 344 meter tall skyscraper at Michigan Avenue, Chicago. It is currently the fourth-tallest building in Chicago and the seventh-tallest in the United States. From the 95th floor restaurant, diners can look out at Chicago and Lake Michigan. The Observatory has a 360° view of the city, up to four states, and a distance of over 130 km.
This building, and its shorter twin (obscured behind) were, apparently, built on a bet many many years ago when one guy said he could build a log skyscraper. It's a bit of a stretch, for sure, but both buildings have stood for decades since, and have become a bit of a local sightseeing attraction. The fact that they are actually appartments which are regularly and continuously occupied by tennants is a fact perhaps not so generally known or appreciated.
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L mounted to a sturdy tripod. The final image was processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom Classic 11, and in DxO PhotoLab 5.1.2. I did manipulate the image a little to eliminate perspective distortion, and then to add a hint of toy blur effect. It just felt right for this stucture.

All that surrounds me, the weight of the water just sinks me down in a resistless, intolerable way. The rippling slowly fades and the underwater world suddenly invigorates to reveal its true, devastating side. You feel nothing but the strength of gravity, but your aim is to stand up and concentrate: do not fall again! ... Today is one of those days. I don't want to simulate anymore.

The design of PPG Place, by Philip Johnson and John Burgee, melds the notion of the modern corporate tower with a neo-gothic monument. Clad in almost a million square feet of glass manufactured by the anchor tenant PPG industries, the architects ingeniously rethought accepted practices in curtain wall design to create "the crown jewel in Pittsburgh's skyline." The 1.57 million square foot complex was one in a series of high profile corporate projects completed during Johnson's controversial foray into postmodernism. Commissioned by PPG Industries, formerly the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, the headquarters occupies a 5.5 acre site in the central business district and was part of an urban revitalization effort after the demise of the steel industry. PPG Place is a cluster of 6 volumes: a 40 story tower, a 14 story volume, and four 6 story buildings. The composition of lower volumes negotiates the verticality of the main tower and the lower surrounding context, yet all buildings are materially integrated and organized around a central plaza. The buildings house office space, retail shops, restaurants, and a publicly accessible winter garden.
