Id like to see which city will rise above now that Atlanta is excluded.  We all know it has been a house favorite in the last poll.  This poll has been inspired by Spartan  

Reminder: This is favorite capital cities.

Columbia

[gsupstate]

Little Rock or Richmond.  Both great!

Columbia, with nods to Richmond, Little Rock, Austin, Nashville, and OKC.

Little Rock, for its size vs. population.  To refresh your memory:

Great photos!  Whats the name of the tallest tower? When I used to go to Little Rock often several years ago, it was the TCBY tower, but looks like a different sign on it now.

Little Rock all the way.  Its the best city with the worst rep.

[krazeeboi]

Awesome Little Rock photos.

[johnnydr87]

It's now the Metropolitan Bank Tower.

I think the colors on the new tower look nicer than before:

I voted for Nashville

gotta go with nashville on this one. and many thanks to lexy for this beautiful shot (he has many many more, this guy is a picture taking animal!!!) just think, in 5 years it's going to look a lot different (and a lot taller).

Columbia's for the color, balance, texture and charm.  There's a building in Nashville that bothers me because it looks like a stingray or something.

I really like Nashville's skyline from the south...because SoBro is lower in elevation, it makes the buildings look taller...

Oh, I forgot, besides that I like Little Rock's skyline. Very nice for a city of its size! Good looking buildings (both tall and small) as well.

OKC is my favorite... And I have reasons other than hometown bias. The density and variety in height and shape are really nice I think. Sometimes I think you have to be a pedestrian in downtown OKC to truly realize the beauty of the skyline- from many angles you can't get a view of the whole skyline because the density is so high.

One last pic of Nashville that highlights the "backside" of downtown.  Taken by me of course and is available along with other Nashville pics on my website.... www.pbase.com/lexyky/nashville_skyline

^I much prefer the "backside" angle of Nashville's skyline; as with many other cities, the typical angle hides some great density.

[lammius]

IDK, Little Rock and OKC have some height but there are only a few buildings there.  

Richmond (boxy as it is) has some body, so does Nashville.  

Yet for some unknown reason I have a feeling in my gut that Columbia will somehow win this one...  lol

Anyone have pics of Tallahassee?

[satalac]

anybody have any shots of columbia?
