McKinley never set foot in Alaska. Denali makes more sense and with many mountains it's traditional to use the native name.
The native name is Tahoma, or Tacoma.

Not bad...until you realize how large Cleveland probably was when it was developed. Then it's really disappointing.

Helsinki skyline is non existent, meanwhile,right across the Baltic from Helsinki is Tallinn, which has one of the most beautiful skylines ever when traveling there via ship.

Not much of a skyline in Salt Lake City…

The best mid-size city skyline has to be Pittsburgh.
Coming from the airport and going thru a hilly, wooded area before entering the Fort Pitt tunnel with no view or even hint of a major city beyond and to exit a minute later with the city skyline right in front of you is amazing even after a dozen trips.

And that's really it's only saving grace. Memphis is pretty much Baton Rouge with a pyramid and Beale St. I would definitely live in Southhaven if I had to though.

Kansas City is a small city so it isn't great:

I wouldn’t say KC is a small city

You can travel downward 100 floors in at least half of that time.

There's no point in talking about the San Jose skyline, the Fort Worth skyline, etc. Those are peripheral cities, not metropolitan centers. A fairer comparison might be to Arlington, VA or Sandy Springs, GA. San Jose and Fort Worth still fall short of those places, but at least it's a more valid comparison.
Bellevue, WA
And coming soon Amazon’s 600’ tower: LINK

That's a ballpark, friend. PNC and Oracle are my top 2.

I almost said Memphis. Most underwhelming major city I have been to.

I wasn't that impressed with Spokane's.

Old Town San Antonio is cool. I liked it a lot.

Norco makes Chalmette look like Bridge City.

Baton Rouge would actually have a decent skyline had all the tall buildings been built downtown.
