Southfield could be better if they did not fall into the suburban sprawl. There's tons more of tall buildings spread out across the city.

Grand Rapids should probably not be included much like Detroit as the two are much larger than the other Michigan cities. Can't help but notice that most people are listing Detroit burb cities. Any other ones besides the southeast sprawl? Any pics of Kalamazoo, Battle creek, Saginaw, Jackson or any other smaller cities?

Grand Rapids, hands down, especially when you're approaching it from the South on the 131 S. Curve. That view along the Grand River is so cool...

One that is often forgotten is Traverse City. While TC has a modest skyline, it is one of my favorite Michigan cities.

I think Battle Creek has the best skyline per capita. Isn't BC's population down in the 30,000's now? For a city of that size, it looks pretty cool when you drive into town from the south.

I'm surprised Lansing hasn't been mentioned at all. It's not too bad. (didn't take this photo myself, please forgive me.)

BC is about 50,000. Great skyline for a small city though!

Exactly, that's what I hate about southfield. It would look so amazing, if those buildings were in a core area in southfield instead of being sprawled all over southfield. It would be even better, if all of those buildings were in Downtown Detroit, or Grand Rapids.
