Don't take this the wrong way, I really could care less, even if Toledo's was rated #1 .... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the impression the "big deal" with how impressive a skyline is, since it's the line drawn from the contrast of the buildings to the sky? That's all a skyline is really, an impression. |

cle440, i agree the E.9th st. area has a very dense cluster of buidings around and on it. and your right about the downtown (tall buildings) stretching from the new court house to the csu tower... if i had the millions i would build high-rises (5-25 stories tall) from csu east to university circle along the new bus-rapid health line. incorperating mixed use/retail/resturants,etc on street level. now that would make an impressive stretch of the skyline.

Those skyline pix make Dayton look like a big city. I think one of those high-rises has been torn down, though.
Some distant views:

Yet another overlooking a part of the South Park neighborhood. As you can tell Dayton is in a shallow valley, so there are vantage points for skyline views. The city does look good coming through on the freeways, too (particularly coming in from the east on the US 35 freeway, which is a vew few visitors see)

& two views from the lower part of South Park, which is probably going to be demolished in the near future.
Sometimes I like skyline views from closer-in streets, if they take well. Lexington, KY is particularly good for that since residential areas come close to downtown. |
