Sadly, neither Fort Wayne nor any other city in Indiana made the list of "15 best skylines" in the world. I still like Fort Wayne's, though, because I remember the first time I ever saw it. I grew up a country kid. Driving around a curve and seeing a city skyline still takes my breath away, probably the way seeing mountains does for people raised in an urban environment. Of all the ones I've seen, I'll vote for Chicago's. I've had a picture of it, with Lake Michigan prominently in the foreground, on my office wall for years. Of all the ones I haven't seen, I like Sydney's, said to be on "the most beautiful natural harbor in the world." There is something about the combination of skyline and water, isn't there? And be sure to check out No. 14 on the list, the skyline of Dubai, which most people, because of our recent ports controversy, probably think of as a backward, camel-dung little sand dune of a Mideast pesthole.
