Chicago. No. 1 with a bullet. However, having looked at the picture of Pittsburgh that **PigBoy** posted, I have to say it would be a close second. I truly hope to be able to go there one day… ---

> [@indierock82](#): > > **Hemlock** , where do you live in Hong Kong? I lived on Lamma for 11 years. Boy do I miss the city. Have they opened up Wan Chai after the riots/demonstrations? I live close to ground level behind the 7th pink skyscraper from the right in pic 3 - Mid-Levels, in other words. The parts of Wanchai closed by WTO protestors/police are fine. ---

Majority of the kids that I went to school with lived over in the midlevels/peak area. Nice place. Close to the action. Though personally, if I had the means, I’d buy a place out in deep water bay or something like that. ---

Another vote for Hong Kong. Mid-levels/Soho, Caine Rd, 27th floor when I’m there. ---

> [@Happy Lendervedder](#): > > I’m a sucker for [Detroit’s](http://www.claytonstudio.com/Images/MornSkyline2.gif) I agree. It’s one of the few times you can look at America from Canada and think, “Whoa, it looks better over there!” I also like: [Shanghai](http://www.friedmanarchives.com/China/Page1/images/Shanghai%20Skyline.jpg) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-city-skyline/336692.md?page=2)
