As LMich said, these threads usually end up as a "post ____ from your area" mashup, but what the heck:
Youngstown, OH (570K in the metro): http://www.clevelandskyscrapers.com/...town0507_3.jpg http://www.clevelandskyscrapers.com/...wnskysouth.jpg Canton, OH (400K in the metro): Photo from wikipedia - provided openly by username "Chuuzetsu": http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...44456_1981.jpg Akron misses the metro mark (690K in metro), but why not :D http://www.clevelandskyscrapers.com/...kron0708_2.jpg |

Bartlesville, OK Micropolitan pop ~ 50K

I don't think either Bartlesville Oklahoma or Evanston Illinois should make this thread because they are both parts of much larger metropolis' (Tulsa and Chicago).
Here's a small city with a decent skyline though: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...0/IMG_1138.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...atnight002.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...s/IMG_0045.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w.../HikingYK3.jpg What city is it, you ask? Why it's Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Population: less than 20,000. Now that's a small city. |

Bartlesville is its own Micropolitan area. And considering it's nearly 50 miles from Tulsa, I think it can stand on its own much the way Baltimore and DC are each their own cities. :) btw, I've always been impressed with Yellowknife's skyline. |

Evanston is part of the Chicago metropolis, but Bartlesville isn't (Tulsa that is). There is quite a lot of open country between the two. |
Im not sure how to post pictures on here but it someone could post one of Springfield, IL. I grew up there and it has an ok cityscape for such a tiny city...only about 110,000 in population!

Niagara Falls, Ontario
City population: 82,181 Metro population: 390,317 http://citynoise.org/upload/14530.jpg http://citynoise.org/upload/14530.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/...1247421f_b.jpg Courtesy of SheldonBranford http://www.flickr.com/photos/86693975@N00/2945679329/ http://farm1.static.flickr.com/141/3...15dce169_o.jpg Source unknown |
I think yellowknife wins.

Springfield, IL
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/148/3...ef97098f_b.jpg link Comparing Springfield to Peoria isn't really apples to apples though because Springfield's metro isn't much more than the city proper, yet the Peoria metro is over three times the city proper population, making the the downtown CBD much more important and significant for it's size. This has something to do with Springfield's government economy, versus Peoria's industrial and medical economy. I also think this is has very much to do with the fact that population across the river is well established yet regard downtown Peoria as their natural commercial center. The city of Pekin(pop. ~40,000), which is included in the metro, would also regard Peoria as being its' natural hub of commercial activity. |

I always thought that black building in Tyler was interesting. It looks like someone hacked off part of the Sears Tower (Willis Tower, NEVER!) and transplanted it in Texas! |

Unfortunately, Albany, NY, can't be included. It's a small city (95,600) with a kick-ass skyline for a town its size(!), but there's over 1.1 million in the Capital District.
Somebody included Youngstown, OH. Very good call! Except for one bldg from the 60s, it's the largest all-pre-modern skyline in US. |
