For Texans:

If you live outside of South Texas, the Trans-Pecos Region, and maybe upper parts of the panhandle; you live in the south. Whether it be the south or the western south; You live in the south.

I know it sucks to hear this, but you have to face the facts and move on with life. It's not as bad once you get use to it.

I think of Birmingham because I've been there for extended periods of time...

Winter there is so bland

I agree with Metro Matt. I dont find Fort Worth even slightly southern. Dallas, maybe so, but not Fort Worth.

As for East Fort Worth, just because an area is predominantly African-American does not make it Southern. Otherwise, Detroit and Southside Chicago would be Southern.

To me, Fort Worth is a big city version of West Texas. Which I like. Fort Worth has always been my favorite city in Texas with no close second.

You would be amazed how subjective that is. Thats why everyone has a different answer on the issue. Even the experts.

When I think of the South I think of overcooked vegetables, white bread, greasy fried food and sugary tea.
