Perhaps one of the most famous rivalries among American cities is the famous (and infamous) battle between Los Angeles and Greensboro, NC. Well, now that battle is about to heat up again: Greensboro has a Skybar. Yes, just like the famous, hyperexclusive Skybar in LA, now the "gateway to the Piedmont" can boast an identically named watering hole. Here now is a comparison of these two estranged brothers:
