WHAT I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IS :WHAT CITIES DO SOME OF YOU THINK "OUTWEIGH" IN THE SIZE OF THEIR SKYLINES RATHER THAN THEIR ACTUAL IMPORTANCE?iN OTHER WORDS ALL GLITZ BUT NO REAL SUBSTANCE?

None that I can think of (but I can think of some examples the other way around). Even for the cities that boomed earlier in their history and aren't quite as important now as they were then, their skylines still seem to reflect their size/importance pretty accurately. I think that's mainly because a lot of the cities that had a later economic growth spurt went on to build skylines to reflect their growing importance. But you can usually tell by the architecture of the skylines when the city peaked in importance.

(sigh) I think only about 10% of Americans know how to spell "Cincinnati" correctly.

LA would no doubt be numero uno. But Atlantais second by a mile. It is so spread out it doesn't show just how many skyscrappers it has in just one photo. Atlanta has like 5 skylines .
