Depends. I've heard various things in Austin Dallas and Houston be referred 2 as the "best so-and-so in the Southwest" even though none of those cities are part of the Real Southwest, but then again, El Paso is a true Southwest city. Texas is too big not to at least be partly Western. None of it is exclusively in one region.

You're from Ft Worth, you Should know this
East Texas is the closest Texas gets to being "Eastern". I feel like Dallas is even a stretch. Dallas(like most of Texas) is the Western South. I don't see how it could be considered an "Eastern" city.

Not to say it's not an impressive sight, but I've seen mt rainer from Tacoma, and it does not look that large. It doesnt rise over the city like the picture suggests. It's the same way they make the mountains look huge in Denver pictures but they don't look that big in person.

Notwithstanding, I choose East. Better, more interesting cities, greater cultural variety (North, South, Midwest), more history, more culture. West has better scenery but that's about it. Sorry, East is just better than West.

Most people like just the west coast, from seattle to san diego, but other than the coast the west doesnt have much.
