That said, my VERY favorite building between these 2 cities, is the Buffalo City Hall building.

Lincoln, NE, or Lubbock, TX?
Lubbock seems to be a little more filled in. St. Louis or Kansas City?

Kansas City wins this match-up. St Louis has the arch, which is phenomenal. But all in all, St Louis is pretty underwelming for where it should be.

Kansas City has a pretty sweet, dense skyline. They just need a bit more height, imo.

St Louis vs San Antonio, TX?

San Antonio is more impressive. I also like the views better from the interstate. St. Louis is last place in its peer group for skylines.

Nashville, TN or San Jose, CA?

I like Nashville. More variety and taller. Omaha or Des Moines?

Des Moines. Much more interesting and varied architecture and a much more interesting/nicer looking tallest skyscraper.


Tuscon, AZ or Peoria, IL?

Peoria density is a little better, but Tucson's background of gourgeous mountains is much better. I'd give the edge to Tucson due to this.

Phoenix, AZ or Salt Lake City, UT?

Salt Lake City due to the scenery and more impressive architecture.

Norfolk, VA or Knoxville, TN?

Knoxville's hilly setting and range of buildings -- and the sunsphere -- are definitely much more interesting than Norfolk's. Knoxville needs a good 4-6 additional buildings between 10-20 stories to increase density. Density is decent, but not great.

Norfolk has more skyscrapers in the 200-300 foot range, and a couple under construction.

Norfolk wins this match-up overall.

Richmond, VA or St Louis, MO?

Richmond, VA or St Louis, MO?
Richmond. For the record I do like Saint Louis' skyline, but StL needs a LOT more density and more notable taller buildings for me to like it more. That said, I do like the classic buildings in St. Louis' skyline. Honestly though, Richmond is a little better IMO. And also, I do like how you can see some rocks and waterfalls/rapids(or what appears to likely be that), along the

Indianapolis, or Omaha?

To comment on the St Louis point, St Louis should be competing against Pittsburgh/Portland/Minneapolis, but it pales in comparison.

The arch is stunning though, and makes the skyline unique. But without the arch, St Louis has a skyline similar to Des Moines or Birmingham. I'd argue Memphis and Louisville have better skylines.

Indianapolis beats Omaha pretty easily for me. Indy has about 13, 14 skyscrapers over 300 feet, while Omaha has under 5 total. Omaha needs a lot more density.

Indianapolis or Oklahoma City?
