Yeah, I don't see the Dallas art scene passing Houston. It would be like The LA art scene passing NY. One is just too far ahead of the other

How is the public art scene? And I don't mean illegal graffiti. Lol.

So I guess according to C-D Little Rock is more influential than Fort Worth? Now that's hillarious.

Actually, according to the poll, all of them are more influential than Fort Worth. But in reality, there are only two choices here. You can make an argument for New Orleans for the Gulf Coast, though.

Lol. True. The unfortunate case for Fort Worth is that due to its location its true magnitude will never be known. Does Dallas benefit from having Fort Worth as satellite city (just follow my point here fellas) or does Fort Worth benefit from being near Dallas? New Orleans is definitely influential but has been surpassed by Houston. Only its cultural contribution remains significantly important.

Dallas hands down its the capital and one of the most well known cities in the world . Houston is just a regional city . It may be a power house but Houston isn't a well known city outside of USA.

With an economic output of over $400 billion, the most F500 companies outside of Chicago and NYC, and quite an array of international consulate, Houston is hardly a regional city. NOLA, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, etc. Are regional cities.
