Newark, NJ, or Wilmington, DE?
Newark, looks more modern and complete


Birmingham or St Louis

St Louis, just because of the arch.

St Louis or Cleveland?

Charleston. The taller buildings there, along with the mountains and the West Virginia state capitol dome, make me prefer that one over Savannah. Although Savannah's small skyline, isn't bad.

Providence, RI, or Newark, NJ?

Providence. It has a more historic village type look.

Atlanta, GA or Houston, TX?

This is very, VERY close! While I like Houston's skyline a lot, I slightly prefer the design of Atlanta's tallest buildings. So I'll go with Atlanta.

Now to comare the skylines of Texas' 2 biggest cities: Houston or Dallas?

Hmm Another tough one. Dallas I like how it lights up at night


Pittsburgh or Charlotte

Tough choice but went with Pittsburgh. Looks more dense although Charlotte is still adding towers. Asheville NC or Roanoke VA?

Roanoke has a nice small skyline, but to be honest per all the pics I found, I prefer Asheville's skyline a little bit. It seems a little bit more dense, and I like the mix of old and new buildings. Though now that I think about Roanoke's skyline more, this gives me an idea for a future comparison for this thread. Which I won't bring up for below, but will when doing a future post after this. One final note about Roanoke, it's interesting I remember a star design somewhere in the mountains when driving through Roanoke years ago, that weirdly didn't show up in any of the Roanoke skyline pics I googled. Wonder why that is?

Knoxville, TN, or Chattanooga, TN?

Knoxville has the Sunosphere but I like Chattanooga's more overall as the setting on the river and rolling bluffs compliments it. I especially like the view from I-24.

Augusta, GA or Macon, GA?
