I've been to literally every city I mentioned on multiple occasions. Dallas is very similar to Kansas city and other cities in the Midwest, culture wise
Dallas does have somewhat of a midwestern feel. Definitely moreso than any of the other large southern cities. I've actually met a lot of people from Kansas City since I've lived here. There must be some type of connection to this area.
I couldn't even cast a vote. Culturally, Dallas seems more tied to the southeastern cities. But visually, it's quite a bit different. The four Southeastern cities are much more forested and green; whereas, Dallas has a more open feel and is very flat (Memphis is pretty flat too, though). For me, personally, all four of the southeastern cities are attractive to even beautiful in many areas; but, I just can't say the same about Dallas. I find it very unappealing in terms of scenery and would never want to live there because of it.
I could see the whole flat, wide open thing if someone lives out in the far burbs, but when you live in the city (like I do), that really doesn't have an affect on you. The city of Dallas has some very pretty neighborhoods.

I agree. On a city level it looks more like a mid western city than a southern city
The live oak trees and other trees/plants are the thing that makes it look southern or Texan.
I had to drive from Fargo to Dallas a few years ago in the summer. Honestly, the scenery doesnt change hardly at all between the two. Ive also driven from Dallas to Atlanta and the scenery changes drastically.
Dallas has always felt more like a Great Plains city as opposed to a Southern one to me. Just my opinion.
Scenery-wise it's more like Group A. The regional cuisine is a cross between A & B in addition to food specific to Texas. Overall, Dallas can be a tough one to sum up due to its crossroads location (geographically) and fairly long history of transplants.
