Number 2 is Chicago, easily, for being almost what New York is.

Number 3 is more difficult to determine and I change my mind frequently on this. Great contenders include San Fran, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Miami, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, and Seattle. They're all great for different reasons.

I'm glad nobody voted for Phoenix! lol

At sunset driving into downtown Phoenix is breathtaking with the orange desert sky. just look at it.

The sky is nice, but everyplace on earth has killer sunsets from time to time.

The skyline itself is boring, does nothing for the eyes or soul. Take away that awesome sunset and replace it with a rainy day, and youve got a recipe for "get me outta here!!!!!!" LOL

I think every city has a good skyline in it's own way. It keeps that city's individuality and makes each city unique. I like almost all city's skylines because every one is different and unique from each other. my most favorite is not one, it's many here's some

• Anchorage- Plain beautiful
• Seattle- Just as beautiful as Anchorage
• Houston- The modern Architecture
• Chicago and NYC- The density and the old and new blend
• Albuquerque- Beautiful at night with all of the uniquely lit buildings
• Honolulu and Miami- Tropical metropolises
• LA- Decent downtown and many other skylines
• Baltimore- decent and beautiful
• Jacksonville- Beautiful on the water
• Dallas- Interesting and new
• Quebec City- Interesting Blend of old and new
• Toronto- Big and dense
• Savanna and Charleston(SC)- Historical Architecture makes up for the lack of Skyscrapers

I could just keep on going but thats long enough.

[*]Seattle- Just as beautiful as Anchorage

Seattle's skyline is kind of odd, but one of the ones I enjoy the most. Their downtown seems great also.

[*]Houston- The modern Architecture

Ironically enough, the modern architecture is what many people dislike about Houston's downtown. I can't count the number of times I've heard how "fake" it seems, or how it looks like a Lego city, lol. What's most impressive is the older and Art Deco buildings that hide behind the skyscrapers.

I voted for baltimore both because of my biased opinion and because I felt bad it hadn't got any votes

Now I present to you: BALTIMORE!

thats just an opinion

Why isn't Cleveland on the list? I'd say that skyline's pretty impressive, at least as impressive as St. Louis.
