Downtown Dallas is not the center of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex.  Arlington is actually close to center, as is the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport.

Some of those choices appear to be more about sprawl, then skyline though.  I think most of them are good choices though.

Chitown is cool.  Why wasn't Milwaukee listed?   The city smells like yeast and the lake smells of arse. :)
