Which city has the most beautiful and breathtaking skyline? (credit, neighborhood)

[Steve-o]

Im a bit biased here, but my vote goes for Chicago. Its perfectly balanced, with the best blend of architecture in the country. Walk down State or Madison and you feel like youre in a man-made canyon, yet on Michigan and Lake Shore it feels incredibly open. Add in some of the best parks in a big city and it all makes up for a A1 experience.

My second vote would be NYC, then Seattle, then Miami (I love tropical cities).

Vegas should be on the ballot. I don't know why it isn't. Las Vegas has one of the best skylines in the world. Especially at night.

BTW, how do you paste pictures on these posts?

I always did like looking at Las Vegas's skyline from the Stratosphere and in other highrises through-out the strip. Nothing beats it!

If I were to choose based on just having seen pictures, postcards and aerial views, perhaps NY. But narrowing down to cities I've been in firsthand:
Boston, Balt, Phila, NY & Chicago --
gotta go with Chicago. These buildings aren't just big, they're downright beautiful!
While the portraits of the city from Lake Shore are stunning, a stroll along Wacker Drive will take your breath away, day or night!@

From my bedroom in Las Vegas when I lived there, I could lie in bed with my head on the pillow and look through the picture windows at a perfect panoramic view of the skyline of Las Vegas. It was breathtaking and I was very lucky to have a house high enough south of the Strip to have that 180 degree view.
But...I voted for New York

I voted for my hometown of Chicago.

I vote for Seattle. Something about the glass and steel with the crisp blue waters and the snow-capped peaks in the back gives off this cool, sleek and icy futuristic look. I think it's breathtaking.

You have to insert the IMG code, which can be copied by right-clicking an image (select "copy image location")... then hit the picture box in advanced posting, and paste in the location code. You can also use html, by typing [IMG]**code**[/IMG] Did that make sense?

Yes, Seattle is gorgeous, and would definitely be my second choice... come to think of it, why isn't Portland (OR) on there? Call me crazy, but I think it's prettier than many other cities on the poll!

Miami isn't on the poll, but Kansas City is??? Anywho NY obviously has the most bldgs, but I think Chicago is the best looking. The Sears Tower is still the best skyscraper around.
