If you say so. Neon lights doesn't make a skyline. Dallas has a nice skyline but I think Atlanta's is more impressive when you're looking at it from a distance and it's more impressive when looking from a high rise in each city. You may be right about architecture I'm not sure.

Yes, the Cumberland River is very prominent in downtown Nashville.

Not really, and Atlanta has four separate skylines.

Downtown/Midtown is more impressive than Downtown Dallas/Uptown. Buckhead is it's own thing, and there is no equivalent in DFW. Perimeter Center and Cumberland/Galleria basically mirror Las Colinas, Plano or Richardson once it's more developed.

As does Atlanta, in spades.

It's funny how many cities without a water setting generally don't have a very impressive skyline. Out of these options, I would easily give it to Dallas. It's one of the better skylines around with or without water.

Just to contrast the poll results; I think Atlanta has some cool buildings but the skyline is so scattered and doesn't have a flow to it - it looks like an assortment of small scattered skylines to me (though many buildings are great individually). LA has a nice backdrop but lacks many interesting buildings, and honestly is highly unimpressive for the size of the metro.
