LOL some people believe that everything south related belongs to Atlanta based on the belief that it is the only gigantic metro in the south. They refuse to accept that Houston Dallas and Miami are in the south, so the clear winner to many City Datians is ATL

Well, Atlanta is in the SE and the other cities are 600+ miles away. It's not hard to do. Chicago is in the north, but it is considered Mid western. NY is in the North and it is considered NE get it. The same logic needs to be applied to the south. Now Miami is in the SE, but I would have to put a asterisk beside it.

Yes, except for one thing: Chicago and New York sit in two regions that are culturally very very different from one another. There's no part of the south that is extremely different from another part. Hell, Houston is practically a southeastern city (think New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola). Cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston aren't different enough from each other to make the Chicago-New York analogy.

Now THAT's the better picture of the Houston skyline, not the one the other guy posted of the core only.

But Miami is kinda different from all 3 of them to make that analogy(although there are some strong similarities between Houston and Miami here and there).
