Quiz Description

Ever since the first skyscrapers starting shooting up in Chicago, Americans have been blessed with some of the most spectacular city skyline views in all the world. From the urban jungle of Manhattan to the grungy mishmash of steel, concrete, and glass of Detroit, framed by the monolithic Renaissance Center, American cities truly have unrivaled stature and repute in the international consciousness. In this quiz, you will be presented with a picture of an American city skyline, which will be accompanied by a quick blurb to help you along a bit. You only have to guess the city. Take note that while cities should not be reused, their respective states may be. Good luck!
