Yes St. Louis has an arch but in my book the arch doesnt make st. Louis better skyline then other cities. Des Monies and Indianapolis skylines look very similar so i dont get why your fighting about putting indy higher on the list, no offense but i just cant tell difference. Milkwaukee is ok!
I don't really think I was fighting, but I guess I'll justify my reasoning to you. Indy has the tallest skyscraper in the Midwest outside of Chicago and Cleveland. It also has a larger mass of taller buildings than Des Moines does. If you actually visit both cities, Indianapolis simply looks bigger and better than Des Moines as does Columbus and Milwaukee.

I am sorry but i been to both cities and the skylines both look similar, maybe its the building that look the same anyway i can assure you that overall Indy has a way better downtown so much fun stuff to do downtown anyway still...actually researching right now Indy does not have the tallest building after Chicago, Cleveland does.

That's why if you read my quote you'd see that it says outside of Chicago and Cleveland....

I'm pretty sure the IDS Center is taller too. I see where it says that the Chase tower is the tallest outside of Chicago and Cleveland, but that lists its antenna spire height which is 830 ft where the IDS antenna spire height is 910 ft. Also, the roof of the IDS is 792 ft vs 700 ft for the chase tower. Having said that, I would definitely agree the Indianapolis skyline is a step up from Des Moines. It also has 4X the metro population though.
Chicago
Minneapolis
Kansas City
Detroit
Columbus
Cincinatti (Sorry for spelling)
Milwaukee
St. Louis
Indianapolis
Des Moines
Toledo
Grand Rapids
^ I like these in that order for the midwest.

Sure, I'll buy that. I think Indianapolis vs. Des Moines depends on personal preference. If you like height, you'll probably like Indianapolis, but if you like mass and cohesion, you might prefer Des Moines. I think that's fair enough. For me, they're basically equals, and also both pretty underrated.
