I would not call it the anchor of the Texas Metros. Houston and DFW share power and influence over the rest of the state. Houston has more influence on South and Southeast Texas, DFW has more influence on Central, North, and West Texas.
Again, this is the first time I've heard the great Lakes as third coast. And gulf Coast has been referred as both third and Gulf Coast. Isn't the great Lakes called the great Lakes?
The Great Lakes is the Third Coast, but the Gulf Region can have it. I would rather call the Great Lakes the Fresh Coast. It's a term I head that I like more.
Why is that weird? I'm from Houston. To anyone in our region the Gulf Coast has always been the third coast. Never once (until earlier today) have I heard someone try to make the claim that the Great Lakes are a third coast.
My buddy's property is on the west side of a neighborhood lake. I guess we'll have to start calling his property West Coast, while throwing up Tupac W finger signs, and what not..
