Why does Texas get two cities (OKC and Tulsa) that are, obviously, not in Texas? In some ways, I think Tulsa is a bit more like the Midwest than the South anyway...but that was the impression I got when I visited there.
That is what I thought. With the exception of the southeast corner of Oklahoma, the state is definately midwest. I have been throuout the state and that is my impression. Too many people claim Dallas is Southern but they have no substantial reasons to back it up. I guess San diego is Southern too since its below the 36th parallel
The further west you go (Dallas and the I-35 corridor being the dividing line) is where the "The South" transitions to the midwest (going north) and the Southwest (going due west). That is why I cannot claim that Dallas is a "southern city"

DC, Miami, Dallas, and Houston aren't in The American South.
It's best that you just agree to disagree. You're certainly not going to change anyone's mind, and I'm sure everyone else has stopped trying to change yours. Let it go.
