I really didn't find St. Louis that great, besides the Arch. Reminds me so much like driving out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel in Pittsburgh and the skyline just hitting you... Cincinnati driving around Cut-in-the-Hill is awesome! Cincinnati has a nice mix of modern/classic in its skyline, and when it lights up, it is something else!

Um....I know that this little gem was buried, and I hate to even bring it up (for fear of flame war), but....

My guess is because there are at least 2X as many Indianapolis boosters on City-Data...

Miami isn't iconic IMO and Seattle is severely overrated, especially lately! And, you're right....the world doesn't care outside of NYC and Chicago. Thanks for your pessimistic view on the Midwest!

This is what happens when people vote on skylines that they haven't seen in person. This is why I have no opinion about the ones in STL, KC or the Twin Cities. Furthermore, Columbus' skyline is so spread out, that is very difficult to get a pic of the entire skyline. Instead, we get ridiculous pics like the one toxic posted earlier.

Hey Toxic, what happened to that pic?

There is no use in arguing with them...everyone knows Indiana was the fastest-growing state in the Midwest (if you ignore all other Midwestern states) and Indianapolis was the fastest-growing city and metro area in the Midwest (if you ignore all other fast-growing cities and metros in the Midwest). Argue otherwise and they'll claim you don't know how to do math, or that we should ignore metro areas < 1,000,000 people because those don't count.

It was removed by the mods, is there something you need from me or are you just pestering to pester?

Yeah, I guess I should have learned in a similar thread that there's no beating the homerism of some of the Indy folks with *gasp* FACTS!
