Other than that, yeah, those cities are smaller.

You're right, I didn't notice those thrown in there.

This scenery stuff is kinda BS. "Oh cool, look at the mountains." Yes, and then continue driving along the freeway to your job, and then sit in a cubicle five days a week for most of the year.

Now what you can do in the mountains is something entirely different, but scenery doesn't really make sense.

As for smog, the reason Fort Worth's air seems cleaner is because of the fact that there are no mountains to trap it. So the fact that there aren't any mountains is actually a benefit for the city.

I vote Ft. Worth, though the poll is closed. But having lived in Arlington for 18 years, I have to say that Dallas is the primary city (Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, the TNT show Dallas, etc.). But for Ft. Worth's sake, I think it is good that it is not in the spotlight. This allows it to do much without as much scrutiny from ignorant outsiders.

What does that mean? I am pretty apathetic about Orlando anyway. I'm just trying to be realistic here. Maybe some don't agree. That's fine, I'm not here to tell you which one to pick.

Still going with Fort Worth, based solely on the two cities alone. You can have your opinion. Just don't get mad when I voice mine.

Right On Right On from a man from California , anyways who's really cares about which city is the best , the only important decision is your own private personal decision on which city you prefer the most.

You made your choice and that's fine. I'm no expert on Ft Worth so I don't aim to shoot down its merits. The only point I contend is that scenery is as trivial as you think, when appreciation for natural beauty is universal across almost all cultures.
