The New York City skyline is one of the most recognizable in the world.

The skyline portrayed in the banner on Anthony Weiner's campaign website isn't it.

It's Pittsburgh. To be precise, the banner shows the top of what appears to be the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

... UPDATE: John Brougher, V.P. of marketing at NGP VAN, the tech firm that created Weiner's website, emailed the following statement: "This is our fault. NGP VAN acknowledges that the image of the wrong skyline on the placeholder page for the Weiner campaign was our honest mistake, and not that of the Weiner campaign."

2. The Pittsburgh bridge on Weiner's site is one of "The Three Sisters" matching bridges.

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Sisters_(Pittsburgh):

The Three Sisters are three very similar self-anchored suspension bridges spanning the Allegheny River in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 6th, 7th, and 9th streets, generally running north/south. The bridges have been given formal names to honor important Pittsburgh residents:

Roberto Clemente (Sixth Street Bridge)
Andy Warhol (Seventh Street Bridge)
Rachel Carson (Ninth Street Bridge)

Designed by the Allegheny County Department of Public Works, they were all built in a four-year period, from 1924 to 1928, by the American Bridge Company, replacing earlier bridges of various designs at the same sites. Their construction was mandated by the War Department, citing navigable river clearance concerns. They are constructed of steel, and use steel eyebars in lieu of cables.
