Let's try this again - the right way!

Midland, Texas

Population: 95,000 - 26th largest city in Texas
Size: 65 sq. mi.
Location: Midway between Dallas and El Paso on Interstate 20

Here are a few pictures I took of Midland, plus a few from the web. Keep in mind that this city has less than 100,000 residents.

Midland Memorial Hospital West Campus - Central Midland

Looks very american, but nothing special. 5.5/10

Not very special to me. And absolutely not worth to visit. 3 to me.

Its good enough for the 26th largest city in Texas.
5/10

Really good for a city of this size. 6/10

6/10

The skyline is OK consider of the size

Nothing much special

This is probably the BEST skyline in West Texas, and for that I give it a 7/10. Oil really built this town as you can tell.

Seems very outdated and desolate.

5/10

Average. I agree that it seems outdated... it looks frozen in the 70's. 5.

I think you guys should take into some consideration it's neighbors, too. Like I said, of the West Texas cities it is the best one. I couldn't rank it any lower than Lubbock or Amarillo or even El Paso.

Nice skyline for a city of its size. I give it a 6/10.

6/10

impressive for a city that's kind of out in thw middle of nowhere. a skyline like that would be worthy of a metro area at around half a million. not good enough to compare to larger mid-sized cities like little rock, ar, or syracuse, ny, but it gives the look that midland is a fairly important city.

7.5

5/10.

Can't complain considering the size of this place. I guess it's 6/10

At one time, 3 500-foot skyscrapers were planned for Midland......right before the bust in 1982.

4/10

Midland has an amazing skyline for a city of its size.......and being from Odessa, I'm rather jealous!....good job!.....6.5/10!

Bland. 3.5.

6/10

not that special, I life in a city with the same amount of inhabitants (Leeuwarden, Holland), and I thinks it's less dull, so 4.0/10

7/10- greatly developed for its pop.

8.5/10 for its size

not bad for it's size 5/10

5.5/10

its very ugly 1.0/10

5/10

for a city in the middle of nowhere and with a population of not even 100,000, id say it is very good! 7/10
