See, you say things like that and then wonder why you find yourself in heated disagreements with people so often. You might not have to "agree to disagree" so much if you would try being a little more objective.

Trust me, you're always going to have a handful of posters who don't care about data even when you pull it up for them, and who are far more interested in boosting their city or region at any cost.

So you're better off just putting them on your ignore list. If you feed trolls, they'll keep coming back for more.

So what are the other offerings in Dallas and Houston that are not nightclubs?

Actually, I really don't find myself in many "'heated' disagreements with people so often (although you do seem a little heated yourself that I won't engage you the way that you want me to)." I just know how not to let people get ME heated so easily. I also know another method that helps quite a bit, which I very rarely have to resort to, but certainly don't mind doing. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

Hmm. It looks like Atlanta has something called the "Greenhouse" that's similar to the Soul Summit in Brooklyn.

So be it, but let the record show that it was you, not I, who made the snide remark.

Lets see then. Prove me wrong if I'm wrong. My answers for Atlanta are in red.

- Name as least one concert venue in any of those cities that had over 15 homegrown R&B/soul/jazz concerts this year? Not talking about national tours or regional tours. Homegrown meaning these concerts are only in said city.

Wolf Creek Amphitheater had around 18 R&B/soul/jazz concerts this season.
PAST EVENTS - http://wolfcreekamphitheater.com/


- If I wanted to go out on a Monday night what options would I have in those cities that are jammed packed on Monday night?

Tongue and Groove
Soho Lounge
Magic City

- How many options does a professional black person have if they want to be around other black professionals on Friday night that isn't ghetto?

M BAR, Sweet Auburn Seafood, BQE Lounge, Do at the View, Kats Café, Gold Room, Bottle Bar Midtown, Boogalou, Scales 925, Rose Bar, Negril Village, Prive, etc. (I could name more but I will just keep this list)

- What huge events or a combination of events on a particular weekend brought in at least 70k blacks to any of those city from Sept to Oct of this year?

Neighborhood Awards -100k blacks (First week in Aug)
Hair Show - 70k+ blacks (2nd week in Aug)
House in the park, Caribbean Jerk Chicken Festival, Wolf Creek concerts on labor day weekend (75k+)
BET Hip Hop Awards + A3C Music Festival (70k) (This weekend)


- What underground/art/soul/underground hip hop venues can I go to that cater to the artsy/soul music crowd? Say that I'm looking for a venue that plays maybe house music or soul music or some underground/classic hip hop?

Studio 7
The Music Room
Edgewood Speakeasy
El Bar
MJQ



Now don't throw out any BS because I will Google search it to make sure its correct.
