Has Bellevue been mentioned yet? Because it beats cities such as Phoenix, San Antonio, Portland, Sacramento, OKC, St. Louis, Boise, Spokane, Reno, Abq, Omaha, San Jose, Ft. Worth, St. Paul, Little Rock, Raleigh… more that I can’t think of. And it’s a suburb of 150,000..

Bellevue is the #2 downtown serving 4,000,000 people. Maybe we need a separate scale for #2 downtowns.
Impressive:
NYC
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Seattle
Harrisburg - packs some punch for a city <50,000 popn.
New Brunswick
Tulsa
Birmingham - always thought it was a nice one for a city its size
Underwhelming
Norfolk - for the closest thing to an "urban center" of a metro of nearly 2 million, it's not much!
Phoenix
Dallas - looked interesting in pics, but in person I felt there wasn't very much to it
Raleigh
Depends on the angle. The typical skyline view @ 0:50 is what people see most of time when they see a picture of Dallas. You can’t see all the shorter highrises in Uptown from the north due to the much taller buildings in Downtown.
Surprised Huntsville (AL) hasn't been mentioned in the "underwhelming" category. It is now Alabama's largest city, but the tallest building downtown is 12 stories / 200 feet.

Huntsville for sure. Huntsville is seeing some nice infill development. The city removed the height limits in 2009, downtown. With the city's growth, I would not be surprised if it starts to build taller.
