More recognizable skyline: Boston or Philadelphia?

Looking at old pictures of both, in my opinion, one thing that strikes me is Boston always looked more organized and uniformed even with the winding streets.

When I first clicked on the Boston link my split second reaction was that was Philly lol Just the way it was laid out with the shot of the river.

boston.

And you don't have to be very old for this to be true. I did business with Comcast when they were at 1500 Market Street and before they bought AT&T Broadband. That was 20 years ago. The merger was announced December 19, 2001 and it didn't happen for quite a while. It took a year and a half for regulatory approval. I worked across the street from Comcast Center in the old Bell Atlantic tower for a bit. That was built in 1991.
