Alot of people show much pride for their hometown and carry a banner for it. But maybe they're just a little too prideful.... almost to the point of obnoxiousness.
Out of these cities, which of its citizens are most likely to beat their chests and say, "Yeah, I'm from _______. And f*** your hometown because it's not MINE"?

L.a. kids still ride that gang banger persona even though those days are long gone.

Seeing as I'm the only homer from my city (Jacksonville) and I actually am not much of a homer, I have noticed uber-homerness from the following:

San Antonio (for sure...every poster from there seems to be some head in the sky homer)
Dallas (lots of big homers)
Chicago (a few big homers that ruin it for the rest seem to come to mind)
DC (kinda sorta seems that way)
Atlanta (well I have to admit, LoL)

Boston may be up there...but that's only because we're so good and most other places suck.

If you compare ego and hype vs the actual city in real life, LA homers are definitely up there.

Ha!

My vote would have been for Houston, Atlanta, Boston, and Houston, as well as Atlanta and Houston, and perhaps Boston.

My guess is that you think Houston has a lot of prideful people. I love Houston.

I really wanted to say Atlanta but Chicagoans are just as prideful and more rightfully so, in my biased opinion.
