I'm not a huge fan of Los Angeles, but you can't say this is a disappointing skyline:

What sucks about Atlanta is you have way too much time to stare at it as you sit in traffic for 2 hours

Be glad you aren't Lexington, we have the big blue dildo.

Made it from Decatur to Buckhead in 20 minutes flat this morning. That's a complete trip through Downtown and Midtown.

Baton Rouge is probably at least a little impressive for travelers coming across the bridge who have never seen it before. A lot of them probably don’t expect much of anything in terms of a cityscape from Baton Rouge.

DC is one of the shittiest cities in the country. No skyline, no heart, no culture. Can’t wait to GTFO and back south when I retire.



I believe there is a law on the books that says no building can be taller than the washington monument

I like the way the rice dryers in Eunice and Crowley hover over the city

Baton Rouge and Tulsa OK both look like they are still in the Eastern Bloc. Brutal architecture done the people's way.

Baton Rouge, Memphis, Jackson and Birmingham all disappoint.

Shreveport/Bossier skyline with both sides makes it look awesome. It's second to Nola for the State in skylines and it isn't close. It also is better looking than Jackson and Memphis, and arguably B-Ham.

That being said, Dallas's skyline is one of the best. Miami and Dallas are holding it down for the south. NYC is the obvious coolest based on sprawl, but L.A.'s looks cool with the mountains but never been a huge fan. The Austin skyline is growing and coming in nicely. Cincy and Pitt both have cool ones.

Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal all have awesome skylines. Tough call between Montreal and Toronto. Van's is kind of too "identical high rise apartment" looking.

Dallas at #1? You're an idiot.

Lexington is fairly nice, the skyline sucks, but we don't have mountains as a backdrop. And it does still feel like a small town, which is nice.

Lexington is about to do a major renovation of downtown and provide walking paths and open up an underground stream, so that should make it more attractive at least at ground level.

Skylines are overrated.

Idk, they're fun to look at when driving through places. But I stand by La's state capitol building being tGOAT, in that regard.

Knoxville is a great place to live... but the skyline here is pretty weak and loses points because the Sunsphere isn't the highest building. (I wouldn't say it's disappointing though because it's not like people have high expectations.)

I've always thought Kansas City's skyline for being a midsized city is pretty solid.
