As LMich said, these threads usually end up as a "post ____ from your area" mashup, but what the heck:

I don't think either Bartlesville Oklahoma or Evanston Illinois should make this thread because they are both parts of much larger metropolis' (Tulsa and Chicago).

Here's a small city with a decent skyline though:

What city is it, you ask? Why it's Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.

Population: less than 20,000. Now that's a small city.

I think seem Louisville and Lexington which one small city in USA??? make me sure?

Actually I believe Bartlesville is part of the Tulsa-Bartlesville CSA.
Bartlesville is its own Micropolitan area. And considering it's nearly 50 miles from Tulsa, I think it can stand on its own much the way Baltimore and DC are each their own cities. :)

btw, I've always been impressed with Yellowknife's skyline.

Evanston is part of the Chicago metropolis, but Bartlesville isn't (Tulsa that is). There is quite a lot of open country between the two.

Im not sure how to post pictures on here but it someone could post one of Springfield, IL. I grew up there and it has an ok cityscape for such a tiny city...only about 110,000 in population!

Niagara Falls, Ontario
City population: 82,181
Metro population: 390,317

I think yellowknife wins.

Springfield, IL

Comparing Springfield to Peoria isn't really apples to apples though because Springfield's metro isn't much more than the city proper, yet the Peoria metro is over three times the city proper population, making the the downtown CBD much more important and significant for it's size. This has something to do with Springfield's government economy, versus Peoria's industrial and medical economy. I also think this is has very much to do with the fact that population across the river is well established yet regard downtown Peoria as their natural commercial center. The city of Pekin(pop. ~40,000), which is included in the metro, would also regard Peoria as being its' natural hub of commercial activity.

Tyler, Texas - 100,000 city/200,000 metro

Can't find very many good photos of Stockton, CA. Metro is 685,660, hope that is ok :)

I always thought that black building in Tyler was interesting. It looks like someone hacked off part of the Sears Tower (Willis Tower, NEVER!) and transplanted it in Texas!

Among us architectural buffs, the Plaza Tower in Tyler is also known as the "mini Sears Tower" of Texas & at 280' in height is as tall as Sears (Willis) Tower's western antennae. You can't see it in the pic I took because it was so far away & with a cellphone camera, but the buildings 3 roof lines & lobby area are accented in red railing which is illuminated at night with red LED's giving it that neon like appearance.

I've always liked Tyler. I don't think it has much of a skyline, but it's a really pretty town located in a nice area with a lot of lake resorts and forests.

Tyler has a decent skyline for a city its size. Downtown has a 280 ft. & 202 ft. tall building for its two tallest with a few others over, or right at 100 ft. in height. The medical center district southeast of downtown has somewhat of a skyline with its tallest at 10 stories or 150 ft. & there are various other multi-story buildings scattered all over town, including a new 14 story 180 ft. tall luxury high rise condo over looking a new golf course on the west side of town, which was just built 1 1/2 years ago. If this crazy economy finally ever gets back on track a second tower will possibly be built.

Unfortunately, Albany, NY, can't be included. It's a small city (95,600) with a kick-ass skyline for a town its size(!), but there's over 1.1 million in the Capital District.

Somebody included Youngstown, OH. Very good call! Except for one bldg from the 60s, it's the largest all-pre-modern skyline in US.

I agree that 47 miles is a lot of real estate between Tulsa and Bartlesville yet Emporis considers Bartlesville part of greater Tulsa. :shrug:

Regardless, it has an amazing skyline for a town of 35,000.

Thanks for setting me straight. I haven't seen most of what you mentioned, but will make a point to stop in Tyler and explore more when I'm in that part of the state the next time.
