Chicago and St. Louis are two good examples. Chicago has Evanston, and St. Louis has Clayton. And I guess if you consider Akron to be a suburb of Cleveland, then I'd also include Cleveland. Atlanta I'm pretty sure also has suburbs with tall high-rises.

Washington Dc and it's surburbs have a lot of high rises. Arlington and Alexandria on the VA side espeically. I live in one in Alexandria and i see at least 10 high-rises out my 10th floor window.
New York City has various suburbs, especially in New Jersey, that have high-density, high-profile structures. Newark and Jersey City immediately come to mind, and I'm sure there are many others.
Washington, D.C. has a law saying nothing can be taller than the Washington Monuments so there are no skyscrapers in the city.
There are a lot of high-rises in Tysons Corner, Virginia, Silver Spring, Maryland and Bethesda, Maryland. Tysons Corner actually has more office space than downtown Cincinnati or Pittsburgh!

Such an ironic name for a 21st century suburb! The name conjurs up a country crossroads with nothing but a dilapidated gas station with a couple old geezers sitting out front, whittlin'.
My take is ........ some of these topics don't make sense to me. Really, what are you asking?
The OP is asking which suburbs have high rises out of the core city.
So Schaumburg IL, a suburb of Chicago, would be a "tall suburb" because it has quite a few high rises.
