My preference..At least Gainesville gave the world Lynyrd Skynyrd, and for some odd reason I always knew that they were from Gainseville.Just a factoid I picked up along the way.

Google harder. This thread comparing Jax's skyline to Toronto's is silly. With that said, Jax's actual skyline isn't being represented here with that Northbank shot and the early 2000s aerial still showing MODIS on the Independent Life Tower (A few towers have been built since then).
While it shouldn't be compared to Toronto's, it's significantly larger than Sarasota's and I'm not sure Gainesville even has a skyline. Look for shots from the Ortega River Bridge, Mathews Bridge or Beaver Street viaduct. You'll get the downtown Northbank and Southbank skylines in the same shot. Here's a river shot that gets them both:

Oh, and Lynyrd Skynyrd and half of those 60s/70s southern rock bands were from Jax.
