Default Springfield, MA

Springfield, Mass might not have the best skyline but it has a better skyline than that picture shows....especially the ones with the Basketball Hall of Fame

I'm incurably biased in favor of my hometown's skyline (New York). But I have to say, I think the three river setting of downtown Pittsburgh is pretty spectacular.

I agree with you about Jersey City. I was impressed last time I was there. Jersey City would have been my 5th choice if it was listed.

I did vote for NYC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Rochester.
Philadelphia seems so underated by alot of people and Rochester needs work but has 3 waterfalls right in the middle of the city!

Overall...PITTSBURGH....obviously not the biggest. Also I like Philadelphia's compact skyline. For it's size...I also voted Wilkes-Barre.

Better pics of Wilkes-Barre from my account here...

We have such an amazing collection of cities! So proud to be a Northeasterner, haha

Go Springfield with the Basketball Hall of Fame, and Monarch Place, one of my favorite towers!
