People in Dallas to me dress southern but they are fake, nice big house, nice big costly car, look at me I have lot of money, look at me I'm dress like I'm gone to the school prom or dinner with the CEO of Microsoft well they are at a fast food place, walmart or shopping plaza!! None of this is southern culture at all.
Dallas and Fort Worth area will give you more of the look on how people from Texas dress like.
More stronger southern accents in the Dallas and Fort Worth area than Houston. In Houston 90% people do not have accent and in suburbs it is even more so.
If you are into the southern culture stay out of Dallas.

You may have more of a point if you're just talking about Fort Worth but not Dallas at all. I can count the number of friends I had from Dallas on one hand when I lived there. People in Dallas were devoid of accents as they are in Houston.
Houston is, by far, the more Southern city.
I'm talking about stronger southern accents and the way people dress. Not the way the city looks or the land.
I hear more stronger southern accents in Dallas than Houston.

I'm not sure I actually consider it segregated, but Atlanta does have majority black neighborhoods. The north and east sides of Atlanta are pretty diverse.
I don't know if I'd group Spalding with those other counties. The largest city in Spalding County, Griffin, is majority black and the county as a whole is 33% black. It's nearly as "black" as Henry County (36%).
Now Pike County is another one of those exceptions, though I bet many people forget it's even in metro Atlanta.
