Denver vs Calgary?
Calgary. The city is more filled in and modern looking.

Miami, FL or San Francisco, CA?

I prefer San Francisco's skyline to Miami's. Miami has a ton of nice, tall skyscrapers--but their aesthetic is SO similar for the most part. San Francisco is iconic and the density keeps coming, and I love to see it.

Worcester, MA vs Winston-Salem, NC?

Winston-Salem slightly because of the domed building and variety.

Roanoke, VA or Baton Rouge, LA?

A slight edge to Baton Rouge for me. Toledo or Milwaukee?

Madison, since I think it has a little more density. Also I like the convention center building in Madison, which has a Frank Lloyd Wright design. It's interesting to think that building wasn't completed, until after he passed away. Although the downtown of Greenville is nice right by the Reedy River, though.

Roanoke, VA, or Charleston, WV?

Roanoke, VA, or Charleston, WV?
Charleston, WV all the way. It has an under-rated, very nice dense downtown that is older, for its city size. A decent number of high-rises too. Roanoke is a lot smaller feeling, than Charleston.

Knoxville, TN vs Chattanooga, TN?

Billings MT vs Fargo ND
