Speaking of the Philly skyline, this video does a great job showing it:

My top five excluding NYC and Chicago (for argument sake) would have to be:
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Detroit
Seattle
Boston

I don't know or said anything about downtowns. Skyline though yes. I was quite shocked at Clevelands Density because the one tall tower is always shown when "Cleveland" comes up. They have a nice skyline to fit there city unlike Philly.
