There's some in the burbs as well as a "Michigan Left" or two. The U-turns mentioned do not require you to sit a light, you can just turn from far left lane into far left lane of the other direction. It's a pretty great concept.

As for the flat concrete freeways comment, that's just another point that's ridiculous.
I wasn't referring to you, it was intended for the latest reiteration of DaveinPA. He is now NoHyping.

I don't like naked concrete cities. Atlanta is a nice blend of urban development and forest.

Since a Atlanta video was posted and I was not going to, but people seem to think anyone who favors their home city or city they are a transplant? Hates on Atlanta. I do not know why. No one denies Atlanta's trees and tree canopy. So that is moot. There is no KING city of the Sunbelt or South.

So equal billing a video of driving into downtown Dallas and then beyond.

You hate on Atlanta because that's actually what you do. Like you don't even have a dog in this particular fight but you jumped into the frey adding absolutely nothing of value to the discussion ("equal opportunity" YouTube videos notwithstanding) but hey, at least you made sure Atlanta got taken down a notch or two right?

But I suppose the fact that you're on your third or so screenname pretty much says it all.

Don't you think the other city videos have value too?

In reality, it is Houston getting the shaft here in votes. No one even comes in as a gang to promote Houston. But one city they do and call everyone haters. No it is to say. There is no one city that is KING again. Some cities have more posters loving them and claim all hate them. That gets old.

This thread had a long run and still this same noting one has to win or you hate on it. Have a Good night.

I sort of like it better that way. Some people are pleasantly surprised by it. I seen a guy from Houston while walking though Uptown. Whoever he was on the phone with, he made it clear on how surprised he was...

There’s a better view looking from the west

More blathering nothingness from someone without a dog in the fight. Bye.
