But As Far As Skyline And Things To Do.....Not Urban Enough

Louisville "feels" the biggest of the aforementioned.

After SLC completes their City Creek and Downtown Rising developments, it will probably feel more like a 2 mil city. Are any of the other places mentioned going through a similar project?

The photos are "too close to call." As stated, Hartford perhaps looks bigger in that photo than if one navigates its downtown?

I like to look at and scan the Hartford skyline on the bus from Boston to NYC. Of course, it looks different if you approach from the north vs. the south, and whether one drives Rt. 91 vs. Rt. 84.

Nobody else even looks while on the bus. We speed by it so quickly, and they have Manhattan on their minds and ipods in their ears.

But to many, it seems the state of Connecticut is nothing more than a rest stop on the way to Boston or NYC. People don't know about Litchfield Hills, Greenwich, the Gold Coast (I think Martha Stewart lives in Westport?). A state of extreme have and have nots in income. I've heard that West Hartford is nice (has a Trader Joe's, I think). Hartford is trying to get another NHL team, which would necessitate a new arena.

I would say Hartford feels pretty big when you're walking through the city, just because it's fairly dense.
