If you're talkin about pittsburgh...I'd agree. Those damn hills
Actually, now that I think about it, if you take PA 28 south into the city, you can see downtown Pittsburgh once you get past Etna, which is about four miles away. You can also see it from Frankstown Road in Penn Hills near its intersection with Robinson Boulevard, just before you enter the city limits. That's seven miles away, but it's very brief. If you want a continuously unobstructed view, though, then you're looking at no more than two miles away in any direction.

Yep... I'm from New Kensington originally, so I take 28 south very often. You see the skyline right around Etna/Millvale
I'd say this one is about 5 miles out:
From MSP about 8 miles (i think)
Maybe 5 miles
This one says it's from Burnsville maybe 12 miles south?
From Burnsville, maybe 12 miles?
I tried finding ones for Seattle and this is the best I could do
