Michigan Skylines

CONCEPT

I had some downtime on Friday, and tabulated the Michigan skylines by Emporis’ system. I personally think Saginaw, Muskegon, Pontiac, and some other city with diverse stock in low-rises get the shaft, but otherwise, the ranking seems fair.

Check it out.

I might have “pillaged” these photos from Emporis, but I’m not making any money off them, and will take them down when this big goes in the archive anyway…
