I know it's not the smallest city but considering that it does only have 287,000 people, Cincinnati has a rather large skyline for it's size.

hudkina · February 19th, 2012, 03:48 AM

Yeah, too bad Cincinnati is really a "city" of 2 million...

natethegreatforlife · February 19th, 2012, 05:55 AM

I didn't include the entire metro area in the population, only the city proper.

Jschmuck · February 19th, 2012, 09:35 PM

You have to look at Cincinnati's demographic history. Just 50 year's ago it had over 500,000 people which helped create the large downtown it is today.

hudkina · February 19th, 2012, 11:02 PM

The municipal population of Cincinnati is irrelevant. That skyline exists because Cincinnati centers a region of 2+ million people. If Cincinnati were truly a city of less than 300,000 people, it wouldn't have such a skyline.

That is a sweet picture of a nice looking downtown.

I know Manitowoc WI was already posted but the picture really didn't show anything. So I thought I'd give it another shot. Metro Population of 33,736 as of 2010.
North side downtown.

Wisconsin has a bunch of smaller city skylines that all look really good.

When stats are kept for the population size of cities, they need to be kept for metropolitan areas, and not just for cities proper. Denver, the city proper has about 600K, but the metropolitan area has about 3 million. I'd like to see the order of the size of metro areas, as opposed to cities proper. I think if that was used. New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago would still be first, second, and third, respectively.

I'd like to see more office buildings, than those ugly siloh elevators.

This is misleading, since Clayton is a suburb, or a bedroom community right next door to St. Louis. Downtown is almost as big as downtown St. Louis. It would be much more impressive, if the town was isolated and away from a major metropolitan area.

It's not really misleading at all because the great majority of us understand the difference between suburb and city seat. I guess it is worth noting from time to time but trust me, we know what Clayton is and isn't.

I know Downtown St. Louis isn't the most impressive downtown, but Clayton lacks in a lot of areas Downtown St. Louis excels in.
