Yeah, "Wow, DFW Metroplex has some small counties, but South Florida counties are huge though." Thats what I said about 15 minutes ago. Until I realized that the Metroplex counties are actually huge too, I forgot we're talking about Texas where everything is big.

There is a 6,000 acre forest in the middle of the city, but it doesn't compare to the everglades.

Well Im referring to Nightlife because its a form of entertainment... During the Day Im at work so the only thing entertaining me are clients. When I get off thats when I seek my entertainment.. Now if I was on vacation which is twice a year. Yes LA was more entertaining. but After 10pm it wasnt that entertaining......

Now am I going to say that because Dallas' nightlife is more geared to my taste than Atlanta or Houston its more fun overall? No.

Youre making a specific suggestion and trying to draw a broad conclusion.
Miami is big for it all. what I was trying to say is why some people may find Dallas to be boring and some may not.. Certain cities are geared to catering to certain lifestyles for people some cities carry it all. And Houston and Atlanta excel in The African American culture and Miami caters to all...

Houston has ranked in top lists for other races outside African Americans. Hispanics and Asians for once.

Either way, I find it hard to believe that a city that is almost 1/4 African-American can be boring for them.
