Here's my impressions of the flurry of cities that have been posted lately. I'm discounting Century City and the like, because that's really just a part of the decentralized L.A. downtown.
I looked at things like beauty, variety of architecture, density, height, ect.
Impressive Skylines:
Wilmington, Grand Rapids, Little Rock, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Dayton, Peoria, Glendale, Rochester
Meh. Ok skylines:
Greenville, Durham, Richmond, Mobile, Knoxville, Salt Lake City, Newport News, Tempe, Midland, Huntsville, Springfield (both), Savannah, Cedar Rapids, Topeka, Beaumont, Charleston
Below Par.
Amarillo, Jackson MS, Aurora, Tallahassee, Vancouver WA, Chattanooga, Eugene, Sioux Falls, Flint, Evansville, Ann Arbor
I'm sure I missed some, but that's just what sticks out in my mind.

^ Hint, the "Newport News" picture is actually a photo of Norfolk, a larger city to the south of NN. The real Newport News (or as I call it, Bad News) skyline looks like this:
This is the only photo I could find in 3 minutes, from cardsunltd.com |
