Skylines Rankings, World & U.S.

[CastleScott]

Cool list guys, however I don't think I saw Austin mentioned and Oklahoma City-for smaller cities there's Des Moines, Omaha and Tulsa. Heck if Sacramento would get its act together it could make the list as well.

3. South Bend, IN
4. Bartlesville, OK

Trying to get the appeal in Philly's skyline? Well, to each its own.

I think the better question is: how can you not understand the appeal in Philadelphia's skyline?

Yeah, totally... I don't really get the appeal of Philly's skyline either... height, density, breadth, blend of old and new, diversity of classic and modern styles, different directional views offering highly-varied visual experience and features of the skyline ... lost on me too...

philly has made great strides

SF clips it for setting and the new tower, to me anyway

[Private Dick]

Because I've only posted six of these lists on here before, and I think I need to post seven:

Top 10 USA skylines (USA skylines are all that matter... USA is all that matters... in fact, my opinion of USA skylines is all that matters):

1 - Pittsburgh
2 - Philadelphia
3 - Erie
4 - Harrisburg
5 - Reading
6 - Wilkes-Barre
7 - Scranton
8 - Lancaster
9 - Washington
10 - Allentown

[JManc]

US only:

Chicago
New York (best looking at night)
Seattle
Pittsburgh
Houston (best when viewed facing west)

Rest of the world:

Hong Kong
Moscow City
La Defense, Paris
Pudong, Shanghai
City of London

Dubai has some amazing buildings but they're all lined up along one street. Looks like someone was bored on Sim City and just plopped down a bunch of towers in a straight line. Same with Philly. Love the buildings but most lined up along Market St.

Dallas, Texas. I think the only American skyline that can "change theme" with LED lights. Red, white and blue for Independence day, Red for Valentine's day, Orange and jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, pink for the annual Mary Kay convention, etc. Hopefully soon Amazon Orange for a big announcement!
