Roslyn, Arlington, VA vs. New Rochelle, NY
I like Roslyn in Arlington, VA much better. More dense and uniform looking skyline.

Greenville, SC or Chattanooga, TN?

Roslyn is denser and more attractive.

Montgomery, AL or Huntsville, AL?

Birmingham all the way. Many more high rises overall and in a beautiful rolling hills setting.

Mobile has the one super tall skyscraper which looks out of place, imo.

Greenville, SC or Chattanooga, TN?

Oh man, my bad I thought this was the city thread not skyline, my bad. Gonna go with Montgomery, it has a slightly higher density and height to it.

Lol Yea I would agree Bham has much better skyline than Mobile (wouldn’t have compared the 2 had I realized the thread) (although Mobile has the the taller skyscraper )

I skipped over this one at first! Sorry about that.

Montgomery edges Huntsville here, for me. Although they are very close.

Fort Worth, TX or St Louis, MO?

Fort Worth is underrated, but I'll take St Louis.

And Chattanooga over Greenville for me.

Baltimore, MD or New Orleans LA?

I'll go with New Orleans here. Better density and more skyscrapers. Both are decent skylines, though.

Memphis, TN or Jacksonville, FL?
