How Philadelphia did not make this list is beyond me? The mix of old and new architecture is unmatched. The 2nd skyline forming along the Schuylkill River maybe the 2nd best river skyline in the US after Chicago. I often think it's a city that doesn't get photographed from many angles so it's depth and size isn't truly reflected.

Because it's way more recognizable. You've got the Space Needle, which trumps ALL of Chicago's buildings. And then you add the mountains in the back?

Really think Philly needed to be on the list over Cleveland and Las Vegas... LA skyline is nice and realistically cannot compete with NYC or Chicago because it's Earthquake territory with special building codes... Pittsburgh skyline is always in the top 5 or 6 as it should be it's naturally gorgeous....

Wanna know why yall have Nashville as an honorable mention. Just asking and just curious

@placeologie Жыл бұрын

Hi - great question! Mostly because of the AT&T building and how much it defines the Nashville skyline and makes it recognizable. A building with such a recognizable look was something we looked for when paring down our list - like how the Space Needle makes Seattle's skyline so obvious. The river makes Nashville's skyline pretty, too, but a low height and lack of other interesting buildings made it miss our actual Top 10.

@joelangford7601 Жыл бұрын

I like your list. Have similar tastes to you. The 80's and 90's were the era of the spire, the creation of interesting building tops, harking back to Art Deco times. Those years produced some nice work, such as Charlotte. We seem to have gone back to the modernist square top now, much less interesting. Some minor disagreements ---- I can't see L.A. making this list. Not very interesting buildings, either individually or in aggregate. Dallas has a few cool buildings, such as Fountain Place, but is imbalanced with the building on the west end so much taller than the others. You give New York and Chicago their due. For me, driving up the Franklin Roosevelt highway on the east shore of Manhattan at night with the top of the convertible down is a peak experience.

Detroit has a FAR better skyline than Cleveland. Gimme a break! There's a bunch of new high rise buildings going up in the downtown district and a second suspension bridge going up as well. By 2026, Detroit's skyline will look much different and better. A n equal mix of old and new buildings clumped together on a water front with bridges is a real downtown.
