Narrow minded? No I love Florida but I would not want Dallas County over Dade county simple as that. Now Harris County would be up for debate.
Hey, you should come to Dallas sometime and with an open mind. I was very surprised when I came out here how much I liked the area. I was living in Atlanta at the time and would read forums on here about how boring, dry, treeless, lame, cultureless and more Dallas was. I was actually a little hesitant to even come out here. My friend wanted me to come with him since he was looking into relocating here. Most all of the bad things I heard about Dallas were totally off base and completely untrue. I have since moved out here and I really like this area.

So not only are you closed minded, but you openly admit that you want to be closed minded? That's ignorance at its finest.

Dallas - Nothing


When I think of Houston I think of the beach, festivals and diversity, the new Earth Park or whatever it is, The NASa things.

When I think of Atlanta - I think of the underground Mall, The georgia Dome, CNN, pepsi, MLK Etc

When I think of Miami I think of - beaches, resorts, spanish american activities etc.

Orlando - theme parks, resorts, and lakes, Kennedy Space center


My Point is nothing rings a bell about going to dallas OVER DADE COUNTY.


Cheap shot this is the last thing I think about Texas in general. I like texas , not once did I put it down or take a shot at it or any of it's posters. I simply said nothing would make me say *Oh hey I want to go to Dallas, OVER Dade County.

As I said in my earlier post:

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. When I first moved here to the DMV, I had a bit of a Texan Twang that I had picked up, and these stuck up DC folks swore I had came fresh off the plantation. New York folks think that DC folks are country. Everyone's a damn critic...

Its not a misunderstanding. You came out and said that you dont want to think any differently of Dallas. That is the definition of being closed minded.

If you like Miami better, great. Lots of people do. But saying you dont want to feel any differently about Dallas is narrow minded.
