What do you think is the best place to view the skyline? ---

In Philadelphia, there’s some parking garages with great views in South Philly ---

I would also check out the Belmont plateau-the view is great! But for a list: Art Museum steps are a good option, as well as the Schuylkill River Trail. Camden waterfront provides an inereresting angle as well. [This article](https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/10-best-spots-to-view-the-philly-skyline-comcast-city-hall-art-museum-20181127.html) shows a list of some of the best viewing places. ---

Philadelphia is such an amazing city. I didn’t know how nice it was until I went there last week. It really looks and feels just like New York City but smaller and much cleaner. Once Philadelphia gets the Schuylkill Yards redevelopment, it will have a 21st century skyline. ---

The Laurel is starting to peak out as well! ---

Revisited the DELCO spot at night, got a decent shot: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/1/8/181a56eaa5e1473a13ce788a6825de25d4ae458c.jpeg) I can’t wait to see the lighting on the Laurel when it is completed because it will make a sizable impact from this angle ---

Just wanted to share, but it looks like Google Earth has updated its 3D imagery for Philly Again! I believe it was taken in August of 2020, so Arthaus can be seen rising, as well as a few other high-rise developments. In particular though, it really helps showcase the insane amount of low-rise development and growth that Philly has been seeing in its neighborhoods recently. ---

Seattle, SF, LA, Chicago, Boston, Miami, Denver are also updated 🙂 Seems they wanted to capture the cities with no traffic and as empty as possible. ---
