I've only been to Miami and Atlanta of all the cities in the list so you will have to post more pictures I think that picture is nice though because it looks like it has a little advertisement on the building like Japan

Okay this sucks because I can't find a good Richmond photo, but I'm tired of the same 3 or 4 cities. The south DOES have other places...

All are amazing skylines at night. Each with it's own character. I've been to most of them except for Miami. Dallas left the strongest impression for me. I'm not a big fan of those tv towers/masts higher in the way of Atlanta's skyline at night.

The Medical Center has a pretty nice night skyline, a lot of it was cut off, though.
