^Might be the first time in life I've ever heard Dallas described as laid back.

Which not everyone is fond of. My point is that foreigners who were fascinated with Atlanta would most likely be intrigued by all major US cities.
No need for the attitude.
I just made a statement.It was not meant as an insult.I did give props by saying "its great".

Just like i know buses are not the same so Is light rail and heavy rail.
Maybe you should give Atlanta "props" for having the foresight to even build a heavy rail system

Ive not made any claims about what Atlanta offers but judging from the high numbers at these attractions and more being added,its quite enough to draw more than Dallas or Houston.

What makes Dallas facinating for tourist?Im really curious from an locals view.

I'd definitely say Miami, but Dallas and Charlotte are very corporate - not laid back at all.

I-95 and I-85 are absolutely stupid in terms of reckless driving. As soon as I pass Clarimont Rd on I-85 heading out of Dekalb County, I start praying. It's once you pass Shallowford Rd when people start using up every one of the horses under their hoods.
Miami is the most fast paced in the South however I also think that has to do with the amount of Cuban coffee ingested per capita on a daily basis.

Anyone who is putting Atlanta ahead of Houston is a nut.

Charlotte is both--corporate and laid back. Not NOLA-style laid back, but relatively speaking it is.
