If anything, outside of transplants, Birmingham, Memphis and Louisville are the only cities in the South that have anything of a Midwest feel, and in vice-versa (Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis).
How in earth does Birmingham or Memphis have Midwestern elements??? Louisville sure but Birmingham and memphis????
First, CD isnt a scientific poll and who knows if they were all texans. Most importantly, "the south" was voted on by 93 people. 90 other ppl classified TX as: Cant be classified, southwest, midwest, or western.
Your only rebuttal has made my case stronger. Now do a poll on GA, AR, LA, MS, SC, TN, and NC. I bet you won't have close to 50% of respondents calling the states region anything besides "the south."
Again, try actually living here before you try and tell a Texas resident what his state is classified as.
Knock yourself out in that thread. At the end of the day, DFW, Nashville, and Raleigh are already widely regarded as New South metros so saying they're the "next" New South metros is pretty silly.

OP didn't include DFW. I can see why he didn't include Houston. I wouldn't call it a "new" south metro. But DFW metro on the other hand is new. FW had 300k ppl less than 20 years ago, its close to 1M now.
And no, Nashville, DFW, and Raleigh aren't "widely regarded" which is why I added them. How am I suppose to read OP's mind to know what "etc" means to him. Widely regarded south metros to me for someone who includes TX and FL in their definition of South are ATL,MIA,HOU. He already included one of those three. Nashville, DFW, Raleigh are new as in last 20 years, tremendous growth. I only include DFW because FW is now a city that can stand on it's own and compete. It's no longer looked at as a suburb of Dallas. You are obsessed with refuting every opinion I have without giving convincing reasons to change my opinion. The only one was GT being prestigious which I discovered after a little research of my own. I owned up to that mistake, SMU is prestigious, just not as much. It also has a presidential library. How much more prestigious can you get than that. Honest mistake on my part
Raleigh/Durham might be a smaller metro, but it's about as New South as you can get. Seriously, just visit the immediate surroundings of Research Triangle Park and get back to me.
Greensboro/Winston-Salem is New South to a lesser extent. That area is slowly growing but I don't see it exploding in the near future.
