I think I'll go with Fort Wayne, here. As to me, it has a slightly more interesting skyline, than South Bend has. South Bend's skyline doesn't stand out as much, IMO.

Grand Rapids, MI, or Rochester, NY?

Rochester. The buildings look more dominant. I like the Genesee river area. The Tetris looking building is also neat.

Tulsa, OK or Mobile, AL?

Mobile does have a few good buildings(i.e. the RSA Battle House Tower which in particular stands out), but for sure I like Tulsa's skyline better. More variety of good looking buildings there, vs. in Mobile. And there are some art deco buildings, in Tulsa as well.

Fresno, CA, or Amarillo, TX?

I like Fresno's. A bit more density and depth, overall.

Oklahoma City or Columbus?

Columbus. The skyline is more balanced and the buildings have better architecture.

Nashville, TN or Oklahoma City, OK?

Easily Nashville. A decade ago, their skylines would've been competitive.

But today, Nashville has well over 3 times the buildings of Oklahoma City, and is in an entirely different league of city peers.

Oklahoma City or Louisville?

Louisville looks more dense and uniform. San Jose CA or Oakland CA?

Oakland, CA. The skyline is more distinct. Oakland looks denser.

Portland, OR or Jersey City, NJ?

Jersey City nowadays. Portland was ahead of it though a few decades ago, but the massive development along the riverfront has really sprouted like gangbusters as the limited space of Manhattan forces development across the Hudson. Most of Portland's growth in recent decades has been focused more on midrises, not quite tall enough to make a real impact on its skyline. Bonus points for the Colgate clock for something more unique (especially from the perspective of lower Manhattan)

LA's Koreatown/Wilshire Center neighborhood or Midtown Phoenix?

I'll give the edge to Wilshire Center. I like their developments and density.

Phoenix or Kansas City?
