Pine trees? Really? I guess all of that beautiful Fall color comes from our abundance of 'fake trees' then.
Nope, no agenda here.
Lol. To rephrase: if you were to add pines and bigger hills to the Dallas landscape, you would have scenery which is very similar to Atlanta. Both cities put on a decent fall color show.
So there's no agenda here. I'm not saying Atlanta isn't a prettier city or that it shouldn't be winning the poll. Only saying that the claims of Atlanta and Dallas being almost polar opposites in terms of aesthetics seem rather baseless. I would think most people truly familiar with both metros would agree.
I'm a former Atlanta resident, myself, so I am highly amused by the fact you actually thought I was saying the area is nothing but pines.
I said "felt" not "is", which makes my comment a relative observation and not a statement of fact. It's called hyperbole.
I never said there were no bodies of water in Atlanta, but within the same radius from downtown, the Texas cities have more. Fact.
Where I'm from, facts have to be validated sooner or later.
Still waiting.
Oh wait; you just so much as admitted that you deal in hyperbole, not facts.
Never mind.

No, you wouldn't have very similar scenery - by any stretch of imagination. The Metroplex is basically prairie, North Georgia is mostly native hardwood forest -granted, with some pines mixed in. If you lived here you would know for a fact that almost all undeveloped land is heavily forested, including some urban tracts inside 285.

You can't seriously be comparing the two when it comes to Fall color?!?! If so, you are really reaching at this point.

Ahem... "If pine trees and a few big hills makes the difference between ugly and beautiful to you, then to each his own, I guess."
None of those there all deserts with buildings accept fore Atlanta but I have never liked Georgia Go somewhere like Memphis or Grand Rapids (although it can be pretty cold there sometimes). Detroit has a LOT of culture but u might not feel safe there unless if u stay downtown.

Similar but not the same. And, actually, Dallas is mixed forest and prairie. Lots and lots of sweetgum and juniper trees in both. I've already stated Dallas has less trees, but thanks for reiterating that.

Nope. Neither city has reliably impressive fall color every year, but most years you'll see some nice changes in hue. Atlanta is better for sure, but you're mistaken to think Dallas has none.
I can't speak for Dallas but Atlanta has pretty awesome fall colors annually.
