Lakewooder, you know that if Houston combined its Museum District and Theater District into one, it would trump Dallas' easily. Theater District alone has the second most seats in the country (something like that).

Get educated :

All those Houstonians who talk trash about Dallas please remember the fact that we offer you shelters for those who had to evacuate from hurricane IKE and many other hurricanes in the past. Whenever these kind of events happened we waste a lot of money on you Houstonians. So be thankful. And if you really really hate Dallas do not come here to beg for foods and a place to stay.

Many other hurricanes? Which ones were those?

Yeah, which ones?
And I thought most of the evacuees were from Galveston and Baytown, not Houston.

As far as arts/theatre districts, Houston's is the best in the state. Museum district is #3 in the country and theatre district is #2 in the country in size.

The only Ike evacuees from the City of Houston were from zips 77058, 059 and 062 (Clear Lake). That included us.

The other evacuation in recent times was from Rita.

Wow, a whole 3 zips out of the entire Houston area. Does that other person even know what they're talking about? And Rita evacuees were from Beaumont and surrounding area, not Houston.

So you're back now? Cool...

I have lived near both cities, not technically in both.
I live in Katy now, just outside of Houston.
The climate here is horrible! There is so much more humidity, and no winter of any kind. At least living in Van Alstyne (north of Dallas on Hwy 75,) we would usually get 1-2 snowfalls a year; I'm not saying every year, but usually. People sometimes wear shorts here around Christmas. We have to run the stupid A/C if we use the fireplace to get that "Christmasy" feel. There are so many mosquitoes, roaches, lovebugs (I had never heard of lovebugs until I moved here,) ect. Did I mention the humidity?
The traffic is awful!!! I avoid I 10 at all costs.
Dallas may not be as "cosmopolitan" as Houston (as the Houstonians would say,) but it has friendly people, better weather, and of course the biggest thing...Braums!

LOL @ better weather

People come to Houston to get away from snow!

If I wanted snow, I would leave Texas completely. Unless you also enjoy the 100+ degree summer temps in landlocked north Texas... no thanks.

Like people actually enjoy swimming that cesspool water in the Gulf and bays near Houston. Isn't fishing banned in the bay areas around Houston due to chemicals. Yuck!
