US Cities and What They're Famous For (real estate, houseboats)

[KathrynAragon]

Fort Worth - cowboys (not THE Cowboys but real cowboys), cattle drives, Tex Mex food, Billy Bob's.

Austin - music, clubs, SXSW, college kids getting drunk on 6th Street, tech jobs

Memphis - BBQ, blues, Beale Street, Elvis, and MLK Jr's assassination. Oh and the Peabody ducks.

LA is the capital of the entertainment industry in not just in the US, but the world. It's so weird when you know LA then you realize just how much it appears in just about everything. It definitely delivers LA more exposure than any other city of its size.
