Skyline Battle: Boston versus Philly
I'm surprised that someone didn't come up with this one yet. But, which skyline do you like better? Do you like one better when it is a night shot? I like Philly's better, but its close. Which do you like better?

It's close, but I have to go with Philadelphia's Skyline.......seems a little more dramatic, relative to Boston's Skyline..........IMHO.

I agree absolutely. Philly has some great street scenes, both modern and colonial, but Boston has more.
Can we get a few Boston photos up? If I recall from my last visit correctly, there are only three or four real "skyscrapers." But man, walking around Copley Square is beautiful. Also Newbury Street. |

I do mean that, critically speaking, but I don't want to diminish Philadelphia in any way. That city gets really rough treatment by a lot of posters here, and it really doesn't deserve it. It's a mystery to me why this is so. But then, I can say that about a lot of other cities on here...including my own. |

I guess it depends what you'd call a skyscraper...Boston has a big downtown, it's just not extremely tall. I think Philly has a better skyline than Boston, but we're not too bad.

They both have their shots. Boston looks amazing from some angles, and so does Philadelphia.
