Portland, OR or Las Vegas, NV?
Portland is taller and the background gives that extra kick. Tyson's Corner VA or San Jose CA?

Tough one as neither are impressive, but I'll say San Jose has an edge.

Charleston, WV or Chattanooga, TN?

Close call. The aquarium and the gold building add character to Chattanooga so Chattanooga wins.

Lexington, KY or Rochester, NY?

Rochester Wins. Lexington looks better and more sleek but lacks density, all it's towers are basically clustered along One street In A Linear fashion sort of like how Atlanta is clustered along Peachtree in Linear fashion. Rochester has some Ugly buildings but makes up for it with density, Rust belt buildings mixed in with the New, Taller skyline With more standout/unique Buildings And Plus Rochester has a waterfall as a background

Pittsburgh vs Nashville

Pittsburgh vs Nashville
Pittsburgh. It has a more iconic skyline and the hills are right next to downtown whereas Nashville’s are a little further out. Pittsburgh’s also has much better architecture.

Portland, OR vs San Antonio, TX

Portland Wins Easily. Portland has A Respectable Amount of Density and looking closely some Fine Architecture. You Add in The River and the Mountain backdrop, and Portland is amongst the Best Mid Sized skylines, It's Up there With New Orleans and Kansas City. San Antonio to give it it's due has Good Density but it's buildings look dated, even it's best feature The Tower of the America's looks straight out of 1970's. And It's not building boom New Towers like Austin or Dallas. All it's buildings Are Squares with Right Angles and mostly the same color like Lego Bricks. Looks like a Lego Brick Playset


Pittsburgh vs Charlotte

Pittsburgh vs Charlotte
Pittsburgh wins this, for me. Pittsburgh has some beautiful, sleek, tall towers, and has a really nice density level.

Charlotte has a beautiful "tallest tower" and has increasing density. But Pittsburgh's just looks better overall.

Charlotte vs Nashville?

Although Nashville has 3 going on 4 skylines, Charlotte wins because of BoA and the Duke towers. Nashville does not have a tower as beautiful and bold as BoA.

Pittsburgh or Minneapolis?

Minneapolis. It's one of my favorites by far. Milwaukee or Richmond?

Milwaukee Wins. More massive and stretches further and longer than Richmond. Long Dense skylines are the Best. Richmond has Incredible Density tho, No Slouch and definitely Upper Tier Amongst Smaller Skylines. Both Have Fine Architecture sprinkled throughout


Tallahassee Florida or Topeka Kansas
