I def agree with the Charleston, WV suggestion. Wilmington is good also, however they can feed off the the Philly metro area a little bit. Charleston is truly an isolated city with a good skyline for its size..

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...
Boise, Madison, and Des Moines are all about 200k with 550-600k metros.

Boise (from National Weather Service):

And this is Des Moines (flickr/Wikipedia):

Wilmington has a great skyline; I've never known much about that city. I will also second Albany and Charleston, WV .
