Not bad, although could use some more buildings in its skyline, though. 7/10.

Not a very impressive skyline, but the whole setting around the river adds a lot. I give it a 5.5/10.

I'm all for quality, and with the exception of the Capitol, and a few others, it's a very poor skyline.

5/10

I give it 6.5

Looks clean which adds to my score but the dilapidated looking surroundings (the warehouses and other industrial) makes the surrounding area infringe on how nice the skyline looks. Still, I know that BR has seen some good growth over the last few years in terms of population so I wouldn't be surprised if some projects of significance were coming down the pike.

The skyline seems boxy and colorless, though I know that in the shadow of those unpossessing buildings, you find a lot to love. The art deco state capitol building is also a stunner. Overall, I guess I'll go with 6.

Not so hot, especially when compared to a smaller metro like Shreveport.

This skyline sucks, but Baton Rouge riverfront is gitting 5 tall glass highrises (over 400ft), many of witch are condos, a streetcar line going from southern unv. to LSU, and a mojor riverfront hotel and casino, all over the next 6 years. New orleans and Baton Rouge are slowly growing together and BR city leaders are trying to develope a more cosmopaltin atmosthere, like New Orleans.

5/10 and very boring downtown, but only compared to New Orleans

The capital building looks nice but the skyline is spread to far apart for the amount of tall buildings it has. The setting though with the river makes up for it. 7/10
