I used to drive through Charlotte on my way from Fort Bragg, NC, to Tulsa, and back.  Maybe 12-15 times.  It just has that look about it.  Its nickname is the "Queen City."

OK--here we go.  This is not Charlotte. And this city is not--to the best of my knowledge--called the "Queen City."

Aren't Charlotte and Cincinnati the Queen City, too?

I was describing Charlotte, not the city in the picture.  I edited my comment to make that more clear.

But, yes, I believe that Cincinnati is also known as the Queen City.

Need more info.

Hmmm.  I see that you have moved on.  Maybe you posted Albuquerque somewhere, although I don't see it.
NM = New Mexico, I didn't want to spill every bean.

Charlotte?
Yup, as noted, apparently an old photo, but neat I thought.

"We" don't think of Charlotte as a "major city" but it's getting there.

There are rules against everything apparently, I broke about 47 of them.

I'm sorry.  Somebody post another skyline.

You got it, MrNubbz.
I saw the capitol building and figured SLC or Boise with the mountains .But since i often sing “Well it’s … 8’oclock in Boise – Idaho ……I’ll find my limo driver, Mister, take us to the show.” thought tha might work ok I'll have to find Schenectady sky line or sum such and will be back

You are supposed to be vague when you are giving a clue to a skyline that you posted, not when you are identifying a skyline that someone else posted.
