Yeah, I think you're right. I said maybe, but looking into it, I'd say Austin has the edge quite comfortably.

Hard to believe this was at one time one of America's great industrial centers and still anchors a metro or nearly one million
Sorry ... in no way is this the worst skyline in the America:

And you apparently live in a city that gives us this:

Default Salt Lake City is NOT among the ugliest...

The buildings may not be the tallest, but for an extended metro of 2.3 million, it's not going to compete with Seattle or Chicago. The recent downtown investment of $2.5 billion has further enhanced the skyline. The 11,000' Wasatch Mountains in the background don't hurt the case, either...

You're missing all of the highrises that line the beach though. You're from VB why are you selling it short? I've been there and it's a great city.

Eh, VB doesn't have a great skyline for a city its size. But there's a worse one right next door in Chesapeake!
