I like this post. It's nice hearing about small towns for once, instead of the usual behemoth cities.

I voted for Atlanta, because Dallas is suburbia.

Same concept. It's a pretty obscure place on the national scale. The only reason I know about Atlanta, TX is because for some strange reason, I remember that it is Ellen Degeneres's hometown.

But anyways there's tons of threads with suburbs or small towns as the topic, don’t take it so seriously.
No, not tons. Relatively few. I'm not taking it seriously, but the point still remains...

Atlanta TX is a small isolated town, the only reason I know it is because some one brought it up in another thread. than I search up how many places is name after Atlanta Atlanta_(disambiguation) LOL. While Dallas GA is a part of Metro Atlanta, and it's incorporation interestingly out dates the Dallas TX. I don't know how it got it's name but, Dallas GA can't be name after Dallas TX. ) "obscure place on the national scale" maybe for some but this is why the OP posted info on these cities for your statement.

Dallas, GA, mainly because it's close to a major metropolitan area. I have no desire to live anywhere near Texarkana, so Atlanta, TX gets ruled out.

However, Dallas, GA is not somewhere I'd live if I could help it. Miles and miles of suburban sprawl to get out there, and too far from the freeway for my tastes.

This is true so may be saying isolated is too much but it's technically not apart of the texarkana metro either.
