Neenah (Pop. 25,000)






Neenah is almost 1/3 the size of Appleton and within 10 years it'll have the better skyline. The city is planning on building two 15 story towers for residential and mixed use right across the street from the three identical red buildings (Neenah Centers). Not bad for a small city.

OKAY; HERE IS THE SKYSCRPAER (Around 57+ Stories. Finished 2012)


And to add to this list. Our core to shore that might pass.





And this citys "Bricktown" (An entertainment district) has had over 6 new buisnesses in the last week. And expecting over 60 by summer/next year.

Ever since we got the NBA team. The city has a new feel. We have 1.2+ million people and the 3rd largest city in land size.

Oklahoma City is on the rise..





Would Oklahoma City Be Ranked Mid-Sized?
Hmm....

Sorry Tevin! But, " mid-sized " classification refers to the * CITY PROPER population. By that definition, OKC is still a mid-sized city. If not, lots of smaller cities could claim to be " big cities ". Oklahoma City's METRO area is approx. 1.2 million, according to Wikipedia and the following statistical data (see link), not the city proper of more than half-million. So, unless OKC annexed it's entire metro area, it's not the 1.2 million.

But, regardless of it's classification, OKC is very impressive!

* United States most populated cities
