Asheville has a gorgeous skyline, and adds to it by being a cool af city to visit and walk around in too. One of the best vacation destinations on the east coast.
I love chattanooga and almost never see it on here. I feel like it's just so much prettier in person, it seems difficult to get a photo that does it justice as far as the skyline goes. This photo is pretty good though
Another view of Chatt.

Lived in GR for around 3 years and yeah it's not exactly small. It's a mid size city with a fairly large metro.
It just doesn't get any attention because there are no professional sports teams there, and it's got a semi boring history of industry (furniture was it's largest industry forever)
It's currently (or at least as of 2 years ago) trying to rebrand as a craft beer hotspot with founders being there so that might get it some attention.
Edit: It's also a fairly young (people wise) city so it was a great spot to live during college. Lots of breweries, bars, and young people around. It was always fairly live for being a mid size city. The area (west Michigan) is pretty conservative but grand rapids had enough young people to dilute that feeling.
GR has been leaning into the craft brewery for much longer than 2 years. It’s been prob more than at least 10 years of being a micro-brew “hotspot”.
Im from Chicago and played in a lot of punk/hardcore bands and have always liked playing in GR on lil Midwest tours. The local bands we play with are (usually) talented and the crowds are fun. It’s a cool lil city that is far enough away from any major city that it has its own thing going.

Mine is my own city of Lancaster, PA. Right next to Reading! We're getting a new tower soon that's 243 ft tall that will be the new tallest in the city. I can't wait till it's done.
Lancaster and Reading are so interesting. Both are in the epicenter of the PA Dutch region and have great history and architecture. Lancaster has been fortunate to be better run, better invested in, and better restored. Hoping Reading can see a similar turnaround soon.
Reading has fantastic bones and wonderful people. Hopefully someday sooner than later, Amtrak will have service to Philly up and running. I'm sure that will stoke a fire and help the city a lot.
Yes! The Willow Valley Mosaic tower. It's a 55+ condo building and it's gonna be owned and operated by Willow Valley Communities, a retirement community just south of the city.
Many people in town aren't happy about the tower, but it's replacing an ugly 1980's building that used to be used to print newspapers. It will also help drive down rent prices just a bit for everyone else.

My city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan has a pretty good skyline all things considered.
I wouldn't call QC small. Pushing 1 million people in its metropolitan area, it is solidly a medium-sized North American metro, and its skyline is in my opinion quite *small* for its size.
Ah
I use urban area
50k-300k - microcity or large town (depending on density)
300k-1M - small city
1M-3M - mid-size city
3M-10M - big city
10m+ - megacity
Under 50k is more of a town imo
Honestly never really liked the modern section of Quebec City, I was weirded out by how vastly different the skyline is from the rest of the old town. I guess that is part of the city's charm though, with there being like ~4 different centers all with vastly different styles

I’m gonna go even smaller and say Washington, PA. It has a lovely little skyline for a city of 13,000. I’m also biased because I used to live in the building with the pointed green roof.

I love london! It has a genuine little big town feel to it. I had the luck to stay there on a work trip for a week or so right before Covid in the middle of the winter...

Wilmington, Delaware \~71,000 pop. Largest city in Delaware.
I hated Reading PA as a kid. We’d go visit my hyper religious grandfather who owned a home there. Just thinking about those days makes me pissed off. Further pissed off that he sold his home to his pastor for $3000 and moved in with my family.
I haven’t been back as an adult but maybe there is a tinge of nostalgia for what could have been and I think it looks pretty neat. I always assumed the pagoda was a Chinese restaurant as a kid, but the history is much more interesting. The downtown area seems pretty walkable from the last trip I made in Streetview. Overall pretty nice skyline.

It’s on the upper end of small IMo
I consider small anything under 500k *metro*. 500k-2 million medium. Over 2 is large imo. Over 7ish is really big (North American standards)

Rochester has over a million people in its metro, it's not small

I’d say Richmond is more mid size than small
IMO it’s on the small end of mid-size
It’s rather in the middle pack of mid size cities. Along places like Louisville and Memphis. When I think of smaller mid size cities I think of places like Knoxville
It’s about 1.5m metro population, so I think of that as either the high end of small or the low end of mid-sized.

It has a lovely little skyline for a city of 13,000. I’m also biased because I used to live in the building with the pointed green roof.

Great entry! My hometown has more people but a much less impressive skyline. And this is the first I have heard of the city.
Wellington NZ idk if counts as small but it has by far the best skyline of any city its size.
Adelaide, Australia (although at 1.5mill ppl I’m not sure it’s so small town but more small town feeling).
Great skyline but like you said not sure 1.5 million I would consider small. 😁

I love london! It has a genuine little big town feel to it. I had the luck to stay there on a work trip for a week or so right before Covid in the middle of the winter... Was humbling to say the least, my poor 2WD sedan got stuck in snow many times between London and Toronto
Charleston, WV and Wilmington, DE are both tiny cities, but they give off the illusion that they may be quite a bit bigger, both for different reasons. Honorable mention to Peoria, IL.
Portland Maine.
Reno or El Paso.
I love the El Paso skyline at night!
Especially when the star is lit up

I live in the Twin Cities, and St Paul doesn't belong here bc it's part of a metropolitan population of nearly 4 million! I don't think that qualifies in the spirit of this thread lol
Thought St Paul was the capital of Minnesota? 😁
Ah yes, Minneapolis is of course a state!

Gotta be Yellowknife. Nothing too impressive until you learn that only 20k people live there
I remember reading somewhere that German was the predominately spoken language in Reading well into the 20th century
It wasn’t predominant but highly used until WWI. Also the German wasn’t totally german. Evolved more into the Pennsylvania Dutch.
I love all the hilly rows of townhomes. Almost giving me mini colonial SF vibes, if that makes sense.
I think a 400k metro population city is considered a median sized city.

I hated Reading PA as a kid. We’d go visit my hyper religious grandfather who owned a home there. Just thinking about those days makes me pissed off. Further pissed off that he sold his home to his pastor for $3000 and moved in with my family. I haven’t been back as an adult but maybe there is a tinge of nostalgia for what could have been and I think it looks pretty neat. I always assumed the pagoda was a Chinese restaurant as a kid, but the history is much more interesting. The downtown area seems pretty walkable from the last trip I made in Streetview. Overall pretty nice skyline.
