Peoria has a slightly more established and memorable skyline(even though I worry about Peoria's long term trajectory, and hope they don't ever pull an Evansville and tear down any of their highrises), so I'll pick that one. Lexington could use a few more highrises, to make its downtown skyline stand out a little more.

Of these 2, I'll go with Raleigh. Lexington is fine for a smaller city, but it isn't on the level of Raleigh.

Kansas City, MO, or Columbus, OH?

Kansas City, MO, or Columbus, OH?
Kansas City due to having less gaps and a more complete skyline. The architecture of both is about even.

Providence, RI or Sacramento, CA?

Providence is more interesting overall to me, but Sacramento is more dense, has more skyscrapers and looks bigger.

Greenville, SC or Asheville, NC?

I really like Springfield's tallest building but otherwise it doesn't really have much of a skyline. Plus the tallest building in Wichita (and all of Kansas) is called the Epic Building and so that makes Wichita the winner by default here in my books. The view of Wichita along the river is also actually really nice.



Might be cheating with this one but which Springfield has the best skyline? Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, or Massachusetts?

Springfield, MA looks the most urban. The architecture is also better.

Tampa, FL or Buffalo, NY?

I like Tampa's design better, plus it's still adding towers. Ft. Lauderdale or Ft. Worth?

Ft. Lauderdale at this point. The towers are not as obstructed by interstate highways and appear to be more modern. Texas loves their interstates!

Jackson, MS or Tallahasee, FL?

Wilmington has better architecture and a mix of old and new.

Tacoma, WA or Harrisburg, PA?
