Fort Wayne is a small city in Indiana with about 200,000 people. I live about 2 hours away from it in the mishawaka/ south bend area. It has some awesome buildings, take a look:

Fabio 3.5? That is too high! I give it a 3

OK, but lacks density due to having too many carparks. Not bad for a city its size though.

6/10 small, but well, it's only 200,000 people

Nice square in the second pic, but I don't like the city.

good looking city with some classic buildings that make it very special....7.5

Kind of neat for a city of its small size. 7/10

What's the building with the dome? Looks like a church.

I grew up in Northwest Ohio, just 10 minutes from the Indiana line. As a young child, Fort Wayne was *the* big city for me (along with Toledo). I loved the skyline as a kid, haha. It's not really impressive anymore after having visited cities like NYC, Philly, Chicago, and Vancouver, but it does hold some sentimental value for me. Here are a few more pictures:

I do not like Fort Wayne, but the skyline is cute to pass through in the middle of nowhere Indiana. 4.5/10

Not much quantity, but stellar quality, especially in the form of Lincoln Tower. I give the skyline a 7.

I haven't seen any density, yet...In some reasons, I'd like to visit...Nothing that special though. :(

I give it a 4/10 because of it's low population...

Fort Wayne, USA (Indiana)
Population: 219,495 in city and 559,619 in metro
The second largest city in the state of Indiana (Indianapolis is the largest)

This thread recreated from cfx68's original version, but now with poll.

I've seen many a skyline in my day, but this one's pretty good. Some nice old buildings and a historic downtown area.
I give it a 6/10. :okay:

Some fairly good midrises; nothing really tall though, and the cluster needs bulking out to give it more cohesion.

5.5

not bad, the skyline seems diverse 6/10

Surprisingly good skyline, really tall buildings, but needs more density. 6,5/10

Fort Wayne has a real treasure in the Lincoln Building, and it appears to have a nice downtown overall, what with that historic courthouse and a scattering of other noteworthy historic buildings. However, I've heard that downtown Fort Wayne is unhealthy, which is a shame. For the buildings alone though, 7.

Nothing too out of the ordinary. I give it a 6/10.

Alright here is a biased opinion. 10/10. I would always want to drive through and see the "skyscrapers". I thought they were huge. lol But it is my hometown so I love it.

i am impressed with the hieght of the buildings for a city of that size. but several buildings don't look too pretty, and i think a few smaller buildings to bridge the tall skyscrapers with the surrounding area would be nice as well.

It's tallest is a beauty, makes me think Tribune Tower Chicago. 4.

Downtown is clean and fairly attractive, albeit mostly a 9-to-5 downtown with too much surface parking and few amenities to attract people outside business hours.

A few decent eating places have opened up, though, and the Harrison Square (http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1047&Itemid=634) development, incorporating a ballpark, hotel and mixed-use condo & retail space, should help with density and street life.

Visit my web site (http://www.robertpence.com/), if you like. There are quite a few photos of Fort Wayne there, and I have a lot more to post as I find time.
