Dallas is a pretty socially conservative city, though. Only a handful areas would really qualify as being socially liberal.
Im not so sure I agree. The city as a whole has adopted some really socially liberal policies. There are domestic partnership benefits at city and county level and there is a four time elected lesbian sheriff. There are also a lot of pro-choice activist in Dallas.
Im not saying its San Francisco, but at least the city is pretty socially liberal minus a few areas. Now then, if you want to talk about McKinney, Arlington, or Flower Mound, those areas are very conservative.
Who would have thought Roswell was so conservative?Clovis makes sense because of the military base.
Roswell as long as I can remember votes conservative. A 20 year Democrat (but fiscally conservative) Senator just lost in a landslide to a 20 some year old Republican. Meaning, Roswell no longer has Democrats representing it. I don't even think Roswell has had a Democratic mayor in at least 30 years, there is one city councilor who is Democrat, he represents the downtown area, he almost lost last year.
In the 2010 gubernatorial race the city voted:
Susana Martinez (R):10,022
Diane Denish (D): 3,297
In the 2012 presidential race the city voted:
Mitt Romney (R): 12,855
Barack Obama (D): 5,172
Roswell used to have a military base, now it's just a flow of Texans coming in.

There are a couple exceptions, but basically everything east of I-35 is liberal and everything west of I-35 is conservative. It even basically works for Des Moines, since the suburbs lose a ton of density and the sprawl is worst west of 35.

Left-leaning:
Cedar Rapids
Davenport
Bettendorf
Burlington
Keokuk

New Hampshire doesn't have many major cities, but most of the towns over 9,000 people are considered "big" by locals, so I'll work with those.
There are also not really any places I'd consider socially conservative, at least not relative to the rest of the country, so I won't examine that additional axis.
