Can you read the name of the building? If so, post it here.

Yes, I'm kidding on my post. I know it's the American Airlines Center.
I wanted to challenge other people post buildings like mine...where you can read the name of the building.

American Airlines Centre with logo in the middle.
Couldn't really be much clearer.
Try cleaning your moniter screen next time :lol:

Here's the United Center in Chicago.
And another building in Rosemont, IL which is very clearly identified, though not with words. The funny thing is, it's located about a mile past the end of a runway at O'Hare International Airport.

You know, it probably has a lot to do with me having just woken in the middle of the night feeling feverish and disoriented, but I can't get past how much that shot of the Morrisons store looks like an oil painting.
But this is hardly the appropriate forum for discussing my pseudoephedrine-fueled hallucinations. I'm going to go talk to the floor lamp for awhile. Cheers.

Here is a B&Q Warehouse (UK's largest DIY retail company).
Its just round the corner from the Morrisons... in the flight path of Manchester airport.
I reckon these letters are so far the biggest letters visible on a roof... you can see them from 13'000 feet away.
I add to the challenge... to see if there are any bigger ?
Also... not strictly the building name... but an advertisement in the same area... clearly visible from the air.

A couple hotels in Chicago. You can read the bottom of the pool behind the Hotel Cass, too.

Batleys Cash N Carry in Edinburgh, Scotland.
There is also another B&Q near here.. but as we've already had one.... (although the letters did measure a bit bigger in Edinburgh).

The Nippon Express freight company in Tokyo, and a couple more nearby which are clearly identified...though I couldn't tell you as what.

Ikspiari, a shopping/dining place at Tokyo Disney.
Daishowa paper products, which after a brief google search I am led to believe is eating Canada and crapping out paper bags.
A heliport in Tokyo, with buildings marked for Sony, Aero Asahi, and ANA (All Nippon Airways).
And Tokyo City Keiba, a horse racing track...although I think the words may be on grass, not part of the building.
Goodnight.

Here's ten more, scattered all over the place. I can only take credit for finding the "Bear Down" gym in Tuscon, AZ. A community layer marker on the gym led me to the other nine.

The former Chicago Sun-Times building, which has since been demolished and replaced with Trump Tower. You can see "TRUMP" scrawled underneath the old sign. Odd that I can't seem to find a single picture of the building with the name Trump on it like that, even pictures taken just before demolition.
And, the Greater Fulton Market...whatever that is. I'm local, but I'm not city folk.

But may be the largest text on the planet earth. This is near the langing site for the shuttle in the Mojave desert. They just painted the compass rose on the desert floor! It is legible from over 12 miles high! I am of course not the fist to mention this place....
