I've seen your work on the City vs City forum. You may want to quit while you're behind.

My arguments are realistic i say good things about cleveland, cincy and every other city but i am not bias with my work. I will speak up when i see something wrong for example a wrong percentage of a number or just stuff like that.

umm ok... it was their opinion. If you had a problem with it or didn't agree with it, I wonder why you took the time to quote them.

Ohio skylines.... Like the cities themselves, they are totally different... I personally am a big fan of all three 3C skylines.... Cleveland... By far, the tallest skyline, with Key Tower, being among the tallest 100 in the US, and the Terminal Tower being a classic, beautiful tall centerpiece... It could use a few more tall towers to maybe make it a bit more balanced, as there are the tall 3, and a couple mids, then it's just high rises... The lakefront, and the stadiums most definitely add to the overall view, and appearance.... I've seen some shots of the skyline taken from the lake, looking S.E. towards downtown, and it is quite the sight..... Columbus... I like... It does have some height, but it it stretches for like a mile between Nationwide, and the courthouse, kinda like a smaller scale of Atlanta's skyline... I love the Leveque, Huntington, and Nationwide towers, and the rest seem very "typical", boxy, and bland... There is definitely a lack of density, but it is spread out, forming a longer skyline, than other Ohio cities.. It could use some more infill buildings, and truthfully, add a few 700-1000 footers, but I really don't see that in the near future.... Cincinnati.... Beautiful skyline... compact and dense, but starting to spread some... Kudos... With the addition of the Queen City(sorry about the name) Tower, it now has some added, and needed height, along with an eye catcher... It has long been a more historic skyline, with some additions in the 80's and 90's, which was an interesting blend... It, as was said earlier, is most dazzling when you come through that hill in Covington or wherever, and the skyline just all the sudden appears out of nowhere, and pops.... Add to that, just as with Cleveland, the stadiums, and then add the riverfront and the bridges, and the hills as a backdrop, and you have one of the most beautiful skylines in the country... So, for height, if that is your thing, Cleveland, For all around scenery, natural, and manmade, Cincinnati, and, well Columbus just has a nice skyline, that if improved upon, could possibly be better, as there is a lot of space downtown, that could be turned into some good towers, but for now, it's good, but still lacks somewhat.... Dayton, Akron, and Toledo, while they do have high rise skylines, lack skyscrapers, height, density to make a great skyline, but, hey, at least they do have something, because some cities, with the same populations, don't have what they have, but they still are not on the level as the skylines of the 3C's..... My choice, Cincinnati!!!!!!

Dayton's skyline looks best when approaching from the west on 35. That's, by far, the city's best profile.

I agree. Dayton looks pretty cool coming in on 35.

Cincinnati has the best skyline in Ohio, IMO.

Of course Cincinnati has the best skyline. The rest of the state has to get it from there.

[I hope you realize that this was a joke.]

We got it, but, either way (5-Way?), your observation's right on the money.

The thread title's redundancy is horrific
