The movie "Bernie."

And yes it is possible to be funny and informative at the same time, e.g. Mark Twain.

Still I liked the descriptions and thought they were fair assessments.

.... didn't say it wasn't. And I had no intention on even making these funny. I honestly don't even know why that would come to mind.

Mainly because if these were just jokes, some people on this forum would go as far as to think I was making fun of each town and then sling insults back and forth. Tends to happen all the time.

San Angelo - Friendly!

(Previous post was deleted by me because I forgot the "thumbs up" guy and didn't know how to put him on after I posted! )

Another possibility for Dallas, flashy. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective. :-)

I'll go with the "Keep Wherever whatever " bumper stickers here.

Keep San Antonio lame, Keep Dallas pretentious, Keep Austin weird. The other cities have not managed to find their word yet
