No, then I would say Atlanta (media), Miami (finance) and Houston (oil).

personally, I think there are seven cities that belong on this list:

1. New York City - Largest city, NYSE, the UN, economic, cultural, & intellectual hub of America
2. Los Angeles - 2nd largest city, Hollywood, center of pop culture
3. Washington, DC - Center of government and politics
4. Boston - Academic hub of the world - Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Boston College, Wellesley, etc.
5. Chicago - 3rd largest city, economic, cultural and intellectual hub of the Midwest
6. San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area - The silicon valley, influential progressive politics
7. Dallas - rapidly growing prominence in the finance and high-tech industry, large oil industry.

Honorable Mentions: Atlanta, Houston, Miami

Good heads up Jluke. I'll just get in my car (which runs on oil), put in a Z-Ro CD (made from plastic, which comes from oil), hit the I-10 (paved with asphalt made from oil) and I'll be on 288 (paved with cement trucks that ran on oil) in the next 4 hours.

Uh...I never said Dallas had a larger oil industry than Houston. I said Dallas has a large oil industry, which is absolutely correct.

It's not the largest. It's not even a top city for Technology or Finance either.

Yes it sure is. Its not THE top city for finance or technology but its definately got a very larger presence for both. Just like its not THE city for oil and energy, but it definately exists here. Dallas is an all around city. Houston throws all its eggs into a couple of baskets. Dallas wont ever be as large as Houston in oil and medicine, but Dallas has more industires with a presence here.

Dallas is easily the most underrated city and MSA and least respected for what it is on this forum.

I don't know if you have issues with reading English or something, but I never said it was the largest. Dallas has a large (meaning large, not largest, just in case you are still confused jluke) prominence in the oil, technology, and finance industries which is why it is one of the most important cities in America.
