Miami's skyline looks great if you are a school of bottlenose dolphins bobbing off the Atlantic but lets try and keep it real here. Miami needs to bust out about 100 years of density before it can boast 3rd best skyline. Phillys skyline is about 4 miles long and 1 mile wide.





Holy **** Philly got my vote

what do you mean what's so great about that? you posted two pics of downtown houston from a far off distance. if you posted a closer pic of the downtown area you wouldn't have to ask such a dumb question. downtown houston is massive. the only area of houston that downtown miami can compare to is uptown houston and i would guess that uptown houston is bigger.

I Think it goes:


You picked the worst picture. That dosen't even show the density of Houston's skyline.

Miami's skyline isnt something to brag about, its fair as in my hometown skyline.. but its not in my favorites..

Houston, Denver, Seattle, Dallas and a few other cities give the True meaning to some of the cities with the best skylines.. they dont just throw up buildings to compete with other cities, but because of there great architecture and most of the bulildings match the city scape.

That's well and good, but I still don't understand the EVERYONE part.

Miami thinks it has the 3rd best skyline just because it has the 3rd biggest skyline.
