They might not brag about their own cities that much but they compare places like NYC to other less populated big cities (like cities they like a sports team from, or believe stupid stereotypes about and have childish fantasies about them) and brag about how that's so much better than NYC anyways. Frankly I find to be equally and if not even more annoying.

LA rocks NYC's world for things to do..... just because it has more people does not make it better. Same with San Francisco.... better than NYC
Speak of the devil...

That's not what the original post said.

"Atlanta- is a city that think that it is becoming king of the south and the country and no other city is better lol!"

Coming from someone who believes Charlotte can compete with the best of the best because a few new glassy towers were added to the skyline and a few hundred thousand people moved to Charlotte's CSA.

Dallas's skyline looks small in that picture. I know it's only showing half of it, but still.

Houston has shown tremendous growth population wise and job wise, so it definitely should be in the spotlight.

NYC obviously trumps any other city in the country, if not the world and I think that's obvious to anyone.

Even though all of these cities deserve their mark, I would say out of these, Atlanta would be a "diva."
Hmm,

Atlanta (Held Olympic Games; Home of cable television (Weather Channel, CNN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TCM); Home of Coca-Cola; World's Busiest Airport; "Capital of the South"; World's largest indoor aquarium)

Seriously, there are far other cities with far less to toot their horn about, and most metro Atlantans don't brag about Atlanta.
