i always assumed that neil tyson went to mit. i see harvard of more of a law, politics, business, accounting, marketing, ... school so maybe that explains why so few scientist (especially black scientists) ?

LOL. Harvard doesn't even offer an accounting course.
But plenty of Nobel laureates have come out of Harvard's physics department (obviously).
I think he realizes that. He never said it was a fact that DFW was better.
I also prefer Dallas (Fort Worth I can take or leave) but can easily see why someone would prefer Atlanta.

I'll rephrase. Casual visit sure. You could even lump Houston in on a tie with dfw, atl, hou. What I was saying that if someone was giving the dfw, atl metro a serious thought for relocating. Taking several weeks to explore both. I think majority of people would walk away believing dfw is the nicer metro. City to City is close. Metro to metro, not so much.
And don't knock Fort Worth. It's not your daddys old country cowboy town anymore. It's changed a lot since I moved to the metro in 05. There some parts of the Tarrant County side that beats the Dallas County side hands down. A lot of those thing have a lot of impact on ones quality of life.
I could see why someone would chose Atlanta metro but mainly if they are: homo, black, or have family along the east coast or in a neighboring state. Anybody else who doesnt think any of that is important would explore dfw and conclude its better. Majority would in my opinion. Yes, its subjective but id bet on that if I could

Lol. In all seriousness though. Most of those people would probably rather live in the atlanta metro. It would be a toss up for non black homosexuals though because there's a big community in dfw and they are concentrated in a great location in uptown Dallas. If homo is derogatory and offends ne one here, I apologize. It was simply shorthand for homosexual. I eould type hetero too. Is the official term lgbt/glbt now and homosexual is no longer used? I ask in all seriousness cause ill refer to them as that instead of homosexual if its derogatory
Dallas certainly has its advantages, but I won't sit here and pretend Atlanta doesn't have its own. And nothing I have in mind has anything to do with homos or Blacks.
