I've seen Toledo's skyline before, but I think this may have been the first time I've seen Dayton's. I'm going with Dayton here; it's more well-proportioned. It doesn't help that Toledo's two tallest are a monolithic glass tower and a brutalist building. But I like its shorter, older buildings.
My favorite view of the Toledo skyline is when you're driving on the Ohio Turnpike and crossing the Maumee River; look north (beyond the old railroad bridge), and you can see the downtown highrises clearly (about 7 miles away).
I am a proud citizen of toledo and can state with authority Toledo has a bigger downtown, more people by 100,000 and bigger population. Plus Dayton isnt a Lake Port like Toledo. Makes me wonder how many of the above posters have even been in Toledo let alone Ohio. Toledos 2000 census pop figs were Toledo had a population of 313,619 with 139,871 housing units; a land area land area of 80.62 sq. miles; a water area of 3.45 sq. miles; and a population density of 3,889.98 people per sq. mile for Census 2000 placing it 4th largest city in Ohio after Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland and 57th largest in the United State. Toledo grew quickly as a result of the Miami and Erie Canal and its position on the railway line between New York and Chicago. It has since become a city well known for its industry, particularly in glass and auto assembly ex. Jeep headquarters and related auto parts production, as well as its art community, education, and local sports teams. The eleven county Northwest Ohio/Toledo/Fremont media market includes over 1 million residents. Unlike Dayton, Toledo is a major Great Lakes Port connecting to NY and Boston and other cities on the Great Lakes. The Port of Toledo is a large Great Lakes port located at the western end of Lake Erie. It provides intermodal access to rail and trucking resources, as well as Big Lucas and Little Lucas, two of the largest cranes of any port on the Great Lakes. Dayton doesnt have this distinction

And none of this has absolutely nothing to do with which skyline is better.
