No there is not those cities are 93 miles apart.. If that is the case then we are going to add Macon, GA and Columbus Ga as part of our skyline too. lol

Yeah, but in Charlotte we could also go north to Winston-Salem, then from ther go east to Greensboro to Durham and the southeast to Raleigh. Before you know it we got 500 miles worth of non-stop urbanity and endless skylineness. Of course this is sarcasm.

I was in downtown Winston-Salem yesterday...and was thinking that just downtown Atlanta could hold the downtowns of Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Durham with no problem.

Combining the Peidmont Crescent, DT Atlanta could no way hold it down. It would need Buckhead and Midtown for support.

But I know you had a blast in Winston.

I enjoyed Winston-Salem...but yeah, downtown Atlanta is easily larger than all of the downtowns I mentioned combined.

I thought you were being facetious with that statement. I'm not sure exactly how you're looking at that, but I'm pretty sure the downtowns of all of those cities combined cover more ground than downtown Atlanta.

I'm talking about the downtown skylines...not the downtown square mileage. I didn't think I needed to specify since this is a "skyline battle" thread.

I'm not inclined to agree with that, but I'm not sure if there's a way to prove that either way.
