This is true. Dallas has a underappreciated African American history in the city but Dallas has done a horrible job in promoting that. Along with it's Hispanic culture as well. Aside from San Antonio, Texas is full of cities that don't promote the interesting things about their past very well. Houston does a better job though incorporating AA's contributions to the city in it's mainstream identity than Dallas does.
Yes San Antonia does a great job of showcasing its Hispanic roots. Netter than nay majpr city in the country
Why would downtown ONLY be the business distruct?This isnt true for Midtown or Buckhead.
Seems like you are only using the fact that there is a interstate dividing downtown . DIVIDING is not the same thing as "separating".At one time you are forgetting that much of this area was once more built up and cohesive way before there was an interstate
Those neighborhoods are interconnected with the culture history that is all of downtown
I’m not the one making up the rules. I’m just stating that population numbers aren’t apples to apples between the cities because they all have different definitions of what areas to capture for DT populations. DT Dallas population stats do not include areas outside the central business district as ATL apparently does.

What exactly are you trying to claim here, that Atlanta is somehow 'boosting' its numbers? The official northern boundary of Downtown is North Avenue, which is across the Connector from the main core. Are you claiming that is somehow not legit? You know Atlanta well enough to know that it damn well is. You are reverting back to your typical dismissiveness when it comes to Atlanta it would seem.

It's just the way the population is assessed in Dallas. Within the loop, there are between 11-12k of people. It doesn't include the other parts adjacent to the CBD, but they now all constitute the 'downtown area'.

Exactly. It wasn’t some evil plot of mine. lol
It’s just not an apples to apples comparison.

I can see Castleberry Hill being included, but anything across the Connector shouldn’t be.
Maybe not evil but snide for sure.
Especially said in a manner to suggest it was an unfair advantage.On this topic, what would be an "apples to apples" comparison if not these cities downtowns?
Atlanta isnt over 300 sq miles like Dallas either but how many threads comparing these cities have been done?
Yea, apparently Atlanta counts areas in its DT population that Dallas doesn’t. Are you trying to be difficult?
Hardly. Your personal refusal to accept that Sweet Auburn and Edgewood aren't part of Downtown is the issue. Do you also suggest that the northern reaches of Downtown on the other side of the Connector aren't as well, because it's one and the same?
Funny, this thread is perfectly fine until you post....
You’re the one being argumentative. Atlanta counts population outside the core central business district and Dallas doesn’t. End of story. Some people even claiming the area by Turner Field is also counted in the DT population. That’s definitely a bit of a stretch.
