Milwaukee, WI or Baltimore, MD?
Baltimore due to greater density. It is basically Cincinnati without the hills. Milwaukee could use some new towers.

Ft. Worth, TX or Albany, NY?

I picked Albany because it has a surprising skyline for it's size. Virginia Beach or St. Paul MN?

I like St Paul's much more than Virginia Beach. Both are surprisingly pretty good though.

Denver, CO or Minneapolis, MN?

Mountains give Denver a Boost, But Minneapolis has more Stand Out and Varied Architecture, Denver's Architecture is Just Ok, not that inspiring and also not a huge fan of the "cash register" tower in Denver, They're About Equal in Density However, Minneapolis has made better choices with it's towers


Knoxville or Raleigh

Minneapolis is nicer and denser. I like the newer looking buildings more than Denver 80s boxes.

Rapid City, SD or Roanoke, VA?

I like Roanoke's a little more. The buildings are a bit taller and they are closer together for more density.

Richmond, VA or Louisville, KY?

Louisville is better. The buildings have more presence and are classically beautiful. Louisville needs more buildings, though.

Salt Lake City, UT or Columbus, OH?

I like Salt Lake City overall, better. The buildings are more unique and a bit more attractive overall. Add in SLC's beautiful mountain backdrop and it elevates it even more. Plus SLC is building several more skyscrapers that will continue to add to its height and density.

Columbus has a nice base of towers, and a good amount too, with about 17 or 18 (if I recall correctly) over 300 feet. But it needs more density and more architecturally unique buildings. The buildings are a bit too bland and stale designed.

Columbus, OH or Indianapolis, IN?

Columbus, OH looks larger and more new buildings. Both cities are underwhelming for their size.

Orlando, FL or Reno, NV?

I have to give Orlando the win here, since it's more dense. And how its buildings look like by that lake(sorry I don't know the name of it), and same with the fountain within that same lake(not to forget that fountain glows in colors, at night), makes me prefer Orlando. I like the mountain backdrop for Reno, but this city needs 1) a LOT more buildings, and 2) a lot more density. And due to the lack of buildings and density, I can't give Reno the win here.

A new skyline battle that I don't think has ever been brought up here, before. Or at least if it ever once was brought up, I'm positive I've never in the past compared these 2 cities before in this thread: Bellingham, WA, or Juneau, AK?
