Milwaukee's skyline, I would actually consider small for a city it's size.

St. Paul? Don't they have over 3 mil in the Twin Cities?

So far Tulsa is by far in the lead, with 13, and Portland is coming in close behind at 11. Oklahoma City and Columbus are tied for third at 7 a piece.

Yeah, but there are two downtowns. I'd say St. Paul is underrated, because like the other cities in this thread, most people probably don't have any idea what St. Paul's skyline looks like, or that it even has one.

It's really kind of small for a metro of it's size to begin with.

St. Paul's skyline is smaller than some of the skylines featured in this thread.

That building under construction is completed. A taller skyscraper (no. 3 in Mil) is under construction right next door.

Yeah, and that's why I pointed out that there were two downtowns. Downtown St. Paul is not the downtown for the 3 million metro.

wow, i think the kc skyline is WAY underrated, but, i'd probably say des moines, due to the stark ratio of downtown density to metropolitan area population. pretty subjective...

then again, des moines brags on this point a lot...

i hate that third pic of milwaukee with the freeway. but i love the other two. there's more on the inside that what it seems on the outside. why don't u come take a look?

SRG · October 25th, 2005, 10:38 PM

Because gas costs too much. Who woulda thunk?

djcody · October 26th, 2005, 08:24 AM

ahh yes... gas prices. I remember when i got my first car, gas was hovering around a $1/gallon and i payed $11.00 to fill her up. Now i'm paying $40.00 for the same size gas tank. I miss those days...

Columbus, OH. Definitely. Driving in on I-70 from the west, you would think it was a city of 2.5 million or more.

24 Hours to Tulsa!

So out of curiosity I looked up some pictures of Louisville's skyline-- I've been meaning to do this for some time. It's not on the list but I think it's safe to say that it's majorly underrated.

Lovely picture.

eweezerinc · October 27th, 2005, 02:37 AM

Louisville is serverely underrated.

SRG · October 29th, 2005, 09:45 PM

Tulsa. Gorgeous. Undeniable.

blakeaustin · July 12th, 2012, 11:20 PM

Austin is very underrated. It's only ever gets mentioned in the Texas forum or by me. :3

***Sarcasticity*** · July 13th, 2012, 06:10 AM

Cincinatti and New Orleans although theyre not in the options
