I will take Dallas winter over Houston anyday, I mean at least Dallas has some type of "seasonal weather", winter with snow sometimes and pretty cool falls. Houston is most humid and hot from late spring to early fall. Only November thru early March (sometimes mid Feb when the crisp weather ends depends on the year) is okay.

Dallas wins. I dont mind the ice either.

You're right! Houston doesn't have an urban lake like Dallas does...Houston has a bay opening out into the ocean which is 100x better!

I personally like Dallas better, but I can certainly agree with this.

I love them BOTH! However, I'll go with Houston because I live here.

Well its not like the entire bay and coast is lined with refineries. Plus if refineries offend you, make your way to Lake Houston or Lake Conroe.

Fashion/Style: Dallas was very conservative and boring I notice. We all went to the Dallas Galleria (Houstons is better!!!) and the ritzy Stonebriar Centre in suburban Frisco and my friends and I was like, wow, the people here are very kakis and polo shirts or plan Librarian types. Not alternative or stylish fashionistas like you see more in Houston.>>

You went to the wrong places! :-) Most of the people I see walking around the Galleria (Yes, I think Houston's is better) are from out of town. You'll see trendier Dallasites closer in to the city. Stonbriar? Forget it! Most are transplants to Texas when you get that far out, and Stonebriar is just a typical suburban mall, IMO. You'd get a better idea of what you're looking for even at Northpark. But for "trendy", you need to visit the young, singles areas of Dallas...Uptown, for example. For alternative fashion, maybe lower Greenville.

Yes, yes, yes! I'm reading Stonebriar Mall and Beltline in Addison and thinking the poster really didn't see Dallas!
