US Major Cities with the worst downtown skylines

[philmonroe]

I always though our(Philly) skyline was lackluster

Well you need to think again then. Love our skyline and would have been better if a few other projects would have went through.

LA's is bad. Phoenix is bad. houston is bad. Dallas is bad. Lot of major cities have terrible skylines. Thing to note though, out east it will be better due to the time they've had to develop more than our western people who developed post WW2 and had more emphasis on space and suburban style (per American dream) rather than density of the early major cities like Chicago and NY.

The best in the West is probably Seattle or San Fran. Seattle's is really underrated. Down the middle is of course Chicago and the east to NY but I find it lacking definition.

I have a bunch of skyline photos in my place and I love to see them and judge them. You can almost tell how great a city is by its skyline.

and Seattle is nice you got that rite

Sac supposed to be way better than that homie. Ya'll the state capital. and that skyline is lackluster for thee state capital of California. And yes I've been there several times. You need to show some different angles. you got the building in the background. you tryin' to enhance it with the bridge being the focal point.

I'm just saying it has a nice night skyline Its not the best nor nowhere near the worst. Small downtown yeah, but it isn't LA, SF or SD .

If you've already been here several times, why would you need to see more angles?

?

don't hate!
But I'm glad you consider Raleigh to be a major US city

Haha. It is the capital

City is cool but skyline is under par for all that goes on here.

Charlotte has a cool skyline, especially when the Bank of America and Duke Energy buildings are lit up. You also used a really old picture.

The picture I used was probably old. I was actually looking for a picture that made it look nice. Like I said. I love Charlotte. My brother and mom both live there. If I didn't work for a good company I'd think of moving there. I always felt like the downtown is very small compared to most major cities. Though I did go once in April where on Fridays they shutdown some of the streets and let people drink, walk around while bands play.

The worst would be phoenix and Cleveland

 

[bl2k8]

San Jose is by far the worst based on population.

Sac isn't that great at all, shyt Oaklands skyline is comparable to Sac.

Give it 5 years.

All that fukking construction downtown better be worth it

Just hijacked the thread.

Toronto skyline.

Crazy thing about it is... they are building so many more high rises at the moment, it's getting congested.

Charlotte isn't a "major" city yet, but it's one of the fastest growing in the country, so it's coming up

Shanghai look so fukking amazing... The energy coming from those pictures makes it seem like there are endless things to discover in that city...

Houston should be a whole lot better than what it is.
At times medical center skyline>>>>>>>>>>>downtown skyline.

Phoenix, San Jose, and San Antonio wins this thread.
