    Not to mention Chicago or Manhattan or Los Angeles, etc.

    Exactly. Not a fan of LA's specifically, but even it is probably nicer than Dallas'. Chicago? There's no comparison whatsoever.

    Hong Kong as well.

    While Hong Kong's is amazing, I think we're limited US skylines.

    LOL. That's really all I can say about that article. Did the Dallas Chamber payoff the USA Today?

    Here's some amateur iPhone photos I've taken from various apartments I've lived in. While I like the NYC Skyline, I think Chicago wins in the visually appealing skyline department. There is Much better symmetry to the Chicago cityscape than NYC's concrete jungle.

    I'm not going to say the Dallas skyline is the best by any means, but it's a pretty nice skyline and I think it's incredibly well balanced with its tallest buildings being the most architecturally pleasing, but also spaced out enough that you can generally see most of the nicest buildings from many vantage points.

    Not a huge fan of Miami or LA. Chicago and New York are obviously ahead of Dallas. Houston and Seattle I think are in about the same ball park, but Seattle only because of the space needle…and Philadelphia I think could be in there as well. I think Toronto is probably my favorite NA skyline (Not too familiar with the rest of the world). Also in the same ball park as Dallas is Frankfurt.
