I think the best is Chicago,even over New York,its more beautiful in my opinion. The worst would have to be Milwaukee, it has 3 tall one, then nothing to back it up, or Cincinatti.
You guys have shown me nothing in the five months since I first posted in this thread. Fresno has the worst skyline for a city of 500,000. Nothing can touch its high rise mediocrity.
Wanna see how it looked 40 years ago? No problem - its more or less the same as today!
Albuquerque is horrible I live here and the skyline is just short (the tallest building is 351 ft tall and the next is 256 ft) and boring to look at. I wish anti development people wouldn't cry every time a big project is proposed they really hold things like skyscrapers and arenas back. Packard place (500+ ft will never happen, Chant tower 27 stories will never happen). I can't what till I move back to Dallas.
"Worst" and "small" are two different things people.
I totally get what your saying but short buildings and a small skyline are huge parts of it along with the buidings not being that dense and albuquerque has all three of those along with ugly buildings. I love how dense chicago's skyline looks at night almost like a huge glossy curtain. Dallas too but of course not as long as Chicago.
Never mind after seeing that photo of fresno. Fresno is the worst. But ABQ has a population of 545,852 bigger than miami, *tlanta and New Orleans in population and in size. Now I noiw they have more money but still. ABQ has had its chances.

...what?
Um, first off, welcome to the forum, and second, the size of a city doesn't mean much as far as the skyline goes. If you're from Dallas (IF you're really from Dallas), all you have to do is look to your neighbor to the west and know that for a fact.
Albuquerque's skyline may not be the greatest, but at least they have a couple triangle top buildings. I'd KILL for one of those in Ft. Worth.
Worst skylines in my opinion. Not in order except for Phoenix and San Antonio
1) Phoenix, AZ
2) San Antonio, TX
3) Salt Lake City, UT
4) Jacksonville, FL - it just doesn't look right
5) Tallahassee, FL
6) Milwaukee, WI
7) Detroit, MI
8) Youngstown, OH - although I've read it's the same skyline for the past 70 years
9) Abilene, TX
10) Madison, WI
