There's a place called Waxahackie? LOL I guess we didn't learn about that in our Texas History course in 7th grade. I really miss middle school right now, that class was fun!

wow this thread been going for 2 years, is it really that much to compare? each city has it purpose, i lived in both cities. i would rather live in Houston diversity is great 90 diff languages in houston, a true melting pot. Dallas is a very nice city but just a tad-bit too racist for me, i would rather live in a bayou city than worried about being called a racist slur which in all the places ive lived dallas was the city i was called out my name the most. oh well life goes on

Well, that "nasty bunch of H20" is muy importante, my ignorant friend. Without it, say good bye to your facile existence.

BTW, Houston is the only real city in Tejas.

sorry houston can't take the time to put on its make-up and have everything glistening and sparkly looking like Dallas. It's too busy being a real city with character, dealing with real issues!

The real issues ARE the make-up...the ugliness is the result of not taking care of the issues.
