Raleigh has 5 buildings over 20 floors, according to Emporis.
Norfolk has 9 over 20...
And? People like skylines for different reasons (architecture, density, height, proportion, etc.), and 5 buildings over 20 floors vs. 9 over 20 floors isn't an astronomical difference, especially considering that Raleigh's three tallest buildings are taller than Norfolk's tallest. For me, Norfolk's skyline isn't varied enough, while Raleigh has just enough for me to prefer it over Norfolk (even though in reality, it doesn't have a lot of variety either). You can't start a poll and then get mad because people don't vote the way you want. If you wanted Norfolk to win, you should have pitted it against Augusta, GA or Lexington, KY or something.

My thoughts exactly. However I do prefer Norfolk's street scape and DT infrastructure over Raleigh's. Oh yeah, give me that mall Norfolk has DT as well!

I agree. I think Norfolk has it over Raleigh on the street level also, and light rail will only help.

I agree to that as well. However, I do love the fact that the musuems in Raleigh are rather close and in DT. Raleigh is coming up as far streetscape.
