And You forgot Pittsburgh with the northeast
and providence, harford, buffalo, wilmington, Atlantic city, Rochester, Springfeild, Syrecuse, and manchester (some of which aren't that big)

Call me biased but theres just something about the idea seeing all of the south's skyscrapers climbing into a crisp, blue October sky that does something to me.

NYC has a nice skyline, even though, you know, the two tallest buildings there are now ghosts.

I don't know if I'll go as far as saying that the Midwest has the best skylines, but I'll show some Midwest love here:

Minneapolis

..and down the road to St. Paul



Des Moines. I may be biased, but I'd say Des Moines has the best skyline for a city with a metro area of less than a million. I'm open to debate on this as I haven't seen everything though.



Kansas City. Killa City Represent!


Indianapolis



St. Louis

Milwaukee



I can't find any good photos of the Duluth, MN skyline with the bridges and lights and all, but trust me, it's very cool. Not so much for big buildings or anything, just the bright lights.

I voted Midwest, I think many of our skylines are way underrated, and then Pacific NW comes in second for me even though thats not a category.

OH and the bad thing about the Saint Louis skyline is you can't get that great view of the arch from across the river without standing in E. STL, IL ... that's never good.

Don't discount the South:

Houston:




Atlanta:




Dallas:




Miami:




And I didn't get to the smaller metro areas like Charlotte, Austin, New Orleans, San Antonio, and Mobile.
