Discuss the best North American skyline here.
Very true. Though Toronto in a way has a bit of a NY feel to it especially the tower blocks.NYC wins this one hands down in my opinion. No matter how much I love Toronto and Vancouver they can't compete with NYC.
Need we say more, one and only in the world!:runaway:You spelled it incorrectly, it is SIDNEY and it is in Nebraska home of Cabella's
also Sidney north of Victoria , BC.
After seeing this, I have to vote
1) Chicago
2) NYC
3) Toronto
I was attempting to dig for a foggy Chicago image that I saw before that was amazing, I failed to locate it though!!
While some movies have used Toronto as a substitute for New York, Toronto's skyscraper canyons are far smaller than New York, and the city is a lot less dense. Downtown Toronto can't even compete against Midtown Manhattan size-wise and scale-wise. Toronto doesn't have the historic architecture that New York has at the skyscraper level. Many of the towers making up the skyline just came up in the past 40 years.Very true. Though Toronto in a way has a bit of a NY feel to it especially the tower blocks.
True about Toronto's size but compared to other US cities except Chicago, it's still denser.While some movies have used Toronto as a substitute for New York, Toronto's skyscraper canyons are far smaller than New York, and the city is a lot less dense.

Toronto may look dense from the downtown vantage points, but it is actually quite spread out beyond its downtown core, with clusters of tall residentials at major nodal intersections, which are about 2km spaced out from each direction.True about Toronto's size but compared to other US cities except Chicago, it's still denser.
I recently watched 50 Cent's movie Get Rich Or Die Trying. The movie was set in NY but when I saw the Scotia Plaza in the background, oh man I have to say it was shot in T-Dot!

The film industry in Toronto is actually slowing as the Canadian Dollar has appreciated and there is more competition from other cities such as Vancouver and Montreal. It is less likely to see Toronto as a New York substitute these days.
Toronto is Canada's financial centre and largest city, hence I won't compare it to the secondary cities in the US.
