Charlotte, NC or Boston, MA?
I love Boston overall, but Charlotte has a more intact and interesting cluster of skyscrapers, with their tallest being one of my overall favorites in the US.

Also, Boston has more skyscrapers, but Charlotte is clustered better with better density in the main downtown, with good height.

Charlotte gets the win, barely, for me.

Memphis TN or Louisville, KY?

Memphis TN or Louisville, KY?
I like Louisville’s skyline and I think it’s more unique but I’ll give this one to Memphis because I think it’s one of the most outdated historical skylines in the USA. It almost feels as if nothing modern has been added in many years. You get a feel of what Memphis looked like decades ago but in modern times.






Albuquerque or Little Rock?

Albuquerque or Little Rock?
ABQ especially since it's complimented by the mountains.

Savannah or Pensacola?

Pensacola by just a bit, I think.

Ft Lauderdale, FL or San Antonio, TX?

Ft. Lauderdale due to more attractive buildings and growing faster.

St. Paul, MN or Nashville, TN?

Both are solid skylines but I think St Paul wins it for me due to having more nicer looking buildings.


Shreveport, LA or Akron, OH?

Tough one but I'll give a slight edge to Dayton. It has a bit more character.

Augusta, GA or Macon, GA?

Bismarck, aided by the gov't buildings and lack of trees.

Manchester, NH, or Roanoke, VA?
