Pitt skyline is not very impressive to me but I can see the beauty being around the rivers and bridges..I do think the single best bridge in any of these cities is the zakim in Boston

Zakim is cool, although would have to disagree as to the "best." It's a modern style that's now found across the globe, so it's not particularly unique in my view. But of course to each their own.
I personally appreciate the classic but unique looks of the Ben Franklin and Robert Clemente bridges more (the night lighting on the BF is particularly fantastic):
Boston’s skyline is very much about where viewed from..those are some awesome pictures..where Boston’s skyline lacks in height it is making up for in breadth..with completion of north station and government center towers plus seaport, south end, fenway, Cambridge, the skyline is encompassing a large area
Same with the Philly skyline. Viewed from the Museum of Art, it doesn't look impressive, because there's no skyscrapers east of Market Street. Also viewed from Camden, New Jersey it isn't very impressive imo.
Philly has come a loooong way since the mid 80s. On my first visit to Philly as an adult, I couldn't believe how crappy the skyline was for such a big city. Looks great now! Boston is a bit too spread out to really be impressive. My favorite Pittsburgh view isn't one of the main two that most love. It's the view approaching from the north that I really like.
