I didn't vote because I think they are all pretty much on the same level due to the reasons I listed. None are significantly above the other. As far as the most potential; my vote goes to Houston with Atlanta behind it.

You owe me the response, I did try to "research" it, but every time I would type in "Atlanta lower income than Dallas" all these deep southern obesity and poverty rate sites would pop up.

I don't owe you jack. And I know exactly who you are.

As to the remainder of your post, more delusional garbage. There really is no need to feel so threatened by Atlanta - really.

Anyone that claims they would never step foot on a Delta flight simply becasue they are HQ'd in the "Deep South" has serious issues. I guess since you have now recently professed such disgust with Fort Worth that you have also eliminated American Airlines too? Your choices seem to be shrinking more and more with this narrow mindedness.

Better also forego all Coke products, shopping at Home Depot, charging anything at Macy's, shipping anything with UPS, using anything made by Rubbermaid, writing with Scripto pens, donating to the American Cancer Society, dismissing everything coming out of the CDC, etc. How very sad for you.

I think that Miami is at the top culturally and possible economically. Too bad it's not even included in the poll.

Now I'm going to ask when did Houston pass the 6 million mark according to the census? I missed that. Every link that I have seen so far says Houston has over 5.8 million in the MSA and over 5.9 in the CSA.
