By context, you are clearly wrong yet again when it comes to Atlanta.
It's never a good idea to speak with authority on a place you've never even been to. Google streetview isn't the same as actually going somewhere, no matter how much you think it may be.

I don't need to go Atlanta when the topic we are debating is something black and white with no margin for interpretation or "gray area" for arguing.
They are 9 miles apart by drive, 7.5 miles by walk or if you are a crow.. 6 miles regardless of what context its under.
So yes under these circumstances a basic fact can be very much absolute.
I think Jersey City is a strong contender for a secondary skyline, but it is so close to Manhattan, it tends to be grouped with NYC downtown. I don't agree with that, however. I think JC is indeed a secondary skyline, due to a State line in play. However, some will always group the two together as part of the NYC skyline. I don't have a good answer as to how JC and NYC will be described in the future.
Same way Arlington & DC are perceived... an extension of the greater metro core
Bellevue skyline is impressive when you’re driving up. There’s certainly street traffic and there’s a transportation hub but if you live here, I’d say there’s a suburban feel. Love it just wish it weren’t so expensive!!
I get your point and to some areas this is true. I can't say the same for Nashville current day though, too much growth and is changing daily, may be back in the day. Nashville is developing secondary skylines in the city current day and even suburban ones as well, examples Gulch area over towards West end and suburban Cool Springs.
Bellevue's major streets are way too wide and they have the laughable idea that people should push a god damn button to cross them. But the parking ratios are getting very urban.
Vulcan's proposed 600'-tall office tower, which just got land use approval, will have 980,000 sf of offices, 40,000 sf of retail, and 1,016 parking spaces...about one space for every six workers. It's directly across from the bus mall, and A couple blocks from the grade-separated light rail that will arrive in 2023.
Which arlington out of curiosity (both are decent).
Jersey City has to be up there too, especially with the harbor and nearly 800ft building, and a 900ft building opening this year.
Both Buckhead and Jersey City have 20+ 400ft+ tall buildings, which is the most in the US for a secondary skyline from what I can tell.
Clayton can't keep up with those numbers, that's for sure, but I do give it credit for having 15 buildings at 200ft or more (including 4 at 300 plus and 1 at 400 plus) due to its size. Clayton's population is approximately 16,800 people.
