And Rochester, MN is impressive too for a metro of about 180,000:

I am less impressed by the plethora of ultra-low at-grade parking lots in these cities. I'll subtract height for density any day of the week.

Does it have to be American/Canadian?
Wellington, NZ - Metro 380,000
Very, very nice. Reminds me of Oslo, where I visited this summer past. Can't wait to get down under again, but this time to NZ (been around Oz).

Not shure how to post pictures and can't find a good one but Waco Texas has a fairly nice skyline for a metro of only 230,213 also Anchorage AK looks like it has a pretty nice skyline

Quite simple. Just highlight the link/pic you would like to share. Right click on its properties only if it doesn't have a direct link in your browser, copy it, click the mountain icon in the thread, then paste the link into there. Wallah!
Like this...
Oh & last, but not least be sure to credit the source.
Ex. This Waco pic came from Jluke at City-Data.com
Niagara Falls doesn't really have a metro of 390,000, that figure is for the entire Regional Municipality of Niagara which includes the cities of St. Catharines, and Welland. The three cities are within close proximity to each other but are all complete entities unto themselves.

I lived a while in Alaska, I was never impressed with the Anchorage skyline.
And to the discussion about what constitutes a metropolitan area....
It's similar to the debate about what constitutes a continent or ocean in geography. We have an idea about how the terms should be used, but the reality is often at odds with the nice little categories we create in our minds.
It doesn't bother me at all the Evanston is "technically" in the Chicago area. It is still a small city itself with the pleasant little skyline. That's what I had hoped to see in this thread.

According to StatsCan, it does. In fact it now has over 400,000 people.
According to my research Anchorage now has seven or eight buildings over 200 ft tall, including two built last year. Not bad for a city with a metro of 360,000.
