Midland, Texas, has a pretty decent skyline for a city that many people haven't heard of. I believe the tallest building is about 400 feet tall.

How about Bellevue? This boomtown will get even larger than some metro's downtowns (phoenix, jacksonville, cleveland, etc.) here in 10 years or so.

Bellevues downtown larger, or larger skyline than Cleveland? Not likely.

We have a very nice skyline for our size, we shouldnt even be in the same category as Jacksonville or Phoenix as far as skylines.

I wouldn't call Philly's skyline underrated, it's beautiful, but gets plenty of attention IMO, great and growing skyline! It will only get better. Way to go Philly!

Now... I thought I might include this - Buffalo doesn't necessarily have an underrated skyline, however its architecture within the skyline is most certainly missed by many. We are one of the most rich architectural cities in the country, evidenced in parts of our skyline and streetscape. When you have nearly every well-known American architect experiment with new ideas and designs in one of the fastest growing cities at the time, you are bound to see that resembled in the skyline of Buffalo. Buffalo, New York's skyline is underrated for its many architectural buildings, spires, and skyscrapers. - not necessarily today for the best looking modern skyline, but still underrated.

No picture can describe or portray the many historic structures the All American City of Buffalo has in its skyline. You must see it to believe it - don't say otherwise if you haven't truly been here, pay us a visit!

Cle440 - Nice Cleveland shots. When I was posting Bellevue's growth above I actually meant to type Columbus before I hit the submit button. Keep those pics coming! I always liked Cleveland...

Okay no problem.

I just found it kind of odd that you would put Cleveland in the same category as Phoenix and Jacksonville. Phoenix especially is known for having a very sub-par skyline for its size.

Now that you say Columbus it makes more sense.
