People putting Pittsburgh on this need to understand back in the day Pitt had almost 700,000 in the city, thats why their Skyline is vastly better than other cities of 300,000. Just a little history.
Of course most have probably never heard of Washington, PA, but for a city of 14,000, it has a pretty good skyline. It serves a county with over 200,000 residents. Most of the major shopping is right outside the city limits.

It's actually quite compact and a busy city in the day time.

Other than the "older" U.S. Steel skyscraper all the more modern towers are relatively recent.

I know some are I was just adding a little fact, I think if Pitt had only 305,000 in the 60's and 70's like it does now, they would not have as many buildings.
I would imagine that many resort cities (like Atlantic City and SPI) would punch above their weight for highrises and skylines, especially when real estate along a beachfront is at a super premium.
