Wow. A lot of Tulsa. I voted Tulsa, OKC, Omaha, DSM, and B'ham. But my number one is Tulsa.

COLUMBUS...by far.

J'ville, B'ham, Nashville and OKC all seem to match their sizes. If you took the tallest out of Omaha and Des Moines, the skylines would be very poor. Portland is a let down for its size (great density though).

I don't know, its odd. If you were to show a pic of Omaha and said it was Indianapolis, many on here would say that it not good.

They are all underrated skylines, but the most would have to be Columbus. The skyline has something like 5 buildings over 500 ft.

TULSA hands down. So much height for its size; its just so attractive to me.

No Louisville? We get a lot of double takes. No one ever expects us to even have a skyline.
