San Diego, or Tampa?
San Diego wins. Tampa's skyline has always been on the smaller side. I think it will be closer in 10 years.

Madison, WI or Wilmington, DE?

Madison WI. Surrounded by water on two sides and shorter buildings that remind me of DC.

Harrisburg PA or Savannah GA?

Harrisburg, seems like a step up in density and number of mid/high rises compared to Savannah.


Richmond, VA or Kansas City, MO?

Kansas City. I like the southwestern influences and balance of the skyline.

Portland, OR or Baltimore, MD?

I don't like how blocky some of those taller buildings in Baltimore look like, so Portland wins for me. Along with the river bridges and mountain backdrop, in some of the pics I found for Portland's skyline.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Saint John, Newfoundland?

Halifax based on more modern buildings. St. John's is cool because it gives New Orleans and Charleston vibes.

Las Vegas, NV or Columbus, OH?

Vegas has a nice skyline on the strip, but the one looking towards the actual downtown area(Fremont Street) isn't as impressive IMO. I know myself, since I saw it from the Stratosphere observation deck on a past trip out there. And as I like the one in Columbus(for a regular downtown) a little more, I'd pick Columbus of these 2. Also I like that one older white art deco building, that is in Columbus. I do wonder one day, if Vegas might have a few more standout looking highrises in its actual downtown?

Portland, ME, or Charleston, SC?

Portland, ME because it has more distinct buildings. The architecture is similar to Wilmington, DE as well.

Charlotte, NC or Denver, CO?

Weirdly enough despite that it(I suspect) has fewer buildings, I do have to say I like the design of some of the highrises I see in Charlotte's skyline a little more. So I'd pick that, over Denver. I almost wish Denver would have at least one or 2 buildings, that had a standout design to them. I do like the density of Denver's skyline, though.

Reno, Nevada, or Boise, Idaho?

Reno, NV wins this one. Boise is growing but still way behind when compared to Reno.

Knoxville, TN or Lexington, KY?
