Default City with the Best Architecture

What city has the best architecture in your opinion? Do you love the brownstones of NYC? How about the Victorian row houses of DC, or the Georgian townhouses of Boston? Maybe your more into the modern skyscrapers of Seattle? So, old or new, which city is most aesthetically pleasing and why? Pictures always help to support your case.
For me, I can never decide between the East Coast cities, but might say Boston in the end.

There is an "other" option...why not vote that, then fill in the blank.

Why, the thriving metropolis of Scranton of course! (You can tell I don't get out too much!)

Thanks for the pictures. Scranton is beautiful. It's a shame though, I hope it starts turning around.

Dude, seriously...I didn't put Scranton on the list because it's the obvious choice. I just wanted people to see beyond Scranton; to put it aside for the moment and choose their second favorite city.

BTW, nice pics, thanks...I always welcome pics.

I picked Philly, because it's the city I'm most familiar with, but I've seen some very impressive pictures of Savahanna, Georgia in the past. That probably would've been my first pick.

Denver, LOL! I've actually been to all the cities on the list except New Orleans. It's hard to make a choice, b/c there is so much variety around the country. Denver does have some Spanish-style architecture that is very different from what the eastern cities have, also some traditional architecture.
