Is 8 the Life of the South building? 
The tourist would realize at once that he had struck the Land of Flowers - the City Beautiful!

Close, in that they are both downtown and were constructed during the same decade....

Is 7 the Hildebrandt building, the former EverBank HQ?

This is harder than I thought it would be.  I blanked on #4 altogether.  You have a better eye than I do, I-10.

#4 is Cathedral Townhouse, I shamefully had to use emporis on that one. Cathedral Townhouse looks very similar to Cathedral Towers from that pic.

This is a really cool series.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Number 7 is 169 Julia Street. It sits on the Southwest  corner of Julia and Adams.  The first floor is trimmed in a dark granite. The corners, on either side of the brick (shown), of the upper floors appear to be a light stone. Old eyes can't see that high.  The  two window shakers are on  the east elevation.  It only has six stories. Hardly a sky scraper by todays standards.  I don't know the name of the building.

^^^Nice building, although it isn't technically a 'skyscraper'.

Is #6 what used to be the American Heritage Life Building?  I think the three initial blocks on the roof no longer say AHL.
