this is a random and strange question. And the answer is all relative to a person's likes and dislikes.

Dallas, and I'll tell you why. Even though its skyline has a lot of mediocre buildings (some are pretty nice) compared to Toronto, the latter is wholly dominated by CN Tower and its baseball stadium. A theme tower shouldn't overwhelm adjacent skyscrapers.

Toronto hands down.

It also photographs much better because it is on water.

Toronto. I can't think of a NA skyline outside NYC or Chi that beats it.

One of the things tha I first noticed when movign to Dallas was the dramatic skyline. I lived in deep ekllum and we had a roof deck on our building that had an awesome view. When I would take people up there at night they would be in awe of the view.


And for 5-6 months out of the year you probably cant even see the toronto skyline due to all the snow and cloudiness.
