some say you can see Atlanta from Brasstown bald in a clear day, don't know if theres any truth to that then the linear distance would be something like 70 miles away or so. I have personally never seen it but that would be awesome.
Come on people, how many skyline debates can you have. How many LA vs NYC threads can you discuss...We all live close to Major Cities, let's hear it. I can see MPLS up to 25 miles away. I want to hear what you NYC obsessers have to say. You can probably only see LA's from 2 miles with all their pollution. Houston and Atlanta people think their skylines are so rad, well from how far away can you see it?
On a clear day, of which there are more than you think, L.A., SD and SF's skyline can be seen from as far as 50 miles away.
Driving in from the west, you go through a swamp with I-10 on elevated piers above it. It's pretty cool at night, to be in absolute nothingness and surrounded by water and see the skyline.

There was a picture on here of it, but it was pretty poor quality. I've tried to find more pitures of it but have come up with nothing. Anyone else have one?
I know coming into Chicago, one can see the skyline from a LONG ways out. Not too sure how far, but we drove for miles before we were actually there. Probably because of the clear skies and flat topography.
I can see the Minneapolis skyline from my hometown, which is 25 miles as the crow flies.
Don't know if I was seeing things, but I was on top of a 200 foot sand dune at Warren Dunes State Park in SW Michigan. It was an absolutely clear day, and I thought I could see the Sears Tower across Lake Michigan (Warren Dunes is directly across from Downtwon Chicago--about 50 miles). Again, I don't know if it was Chicago, but I definitely saw some kind of structure directly on the other side, and it wasn't a boat.
Could only see one. Sorry, maybe I didn't look well enough.
There are many places in the Twin Cities where you can see both. I like the one from Indian Mounds Park and over a railroad (don't know which one) on Snelling Avenue.
