Top 5 is more or less solid, but I'd swap Atlanta and Philadelphia.

Though I forget what the original intent of this thread was since we went from Big 4 to Big 9, but Philadelphia makes a stronger case for the #7 spot than Atlanta.

My phone may still be connected to the internet in my home dimension. Care to share a link with Houston in 4th?
Dallas is often coupled with Ft. Worth, which augment its rankings. Take away Ft. Worth, then Dallas drops to 9th.

Good to know I’m not alone! Then again, my phone often tells me things that I have a hard time believing. Especially true today.

Saw on this very site that Houston was denser than Boston. I honestly never knew that and wouldn't have thought that.

Just saying the raw GDP is higher doesn't mean a place has a strong economy - does LA have a stronger economy than DFW?
Yes... yes it does. Why thats even being questioned is besides me.

Boeing is moving its Headquarters from Chicago to Arlington, VA which would make them located right beside their key customer - the Pentagon. Just another example that the Federal Government is a yuge business…

Kind of thought that was common knowledge? Unless there's some tricky Texan math I'm missing?
