It is either Dallas or Houston...

I'd say Dallas has a more northern influence as far as the amenities there...
Houston is just more cosmopolitan and has a lot of internationals there, so they just don't have as many people that buy into the southern mentality. For instance I have some good Nigerian friends and one moved there because they said there is a big Nigerian community there.

What an original topic! There hasn't been one like it in 8 hours.

Do we really need another one of these so soon?

Why does it matter. Is being southern that bad? By southern I mean southern, not redneck.

no its not. i just thought it would be a fun thread.

it compares big southern cities that have more diversity because of different people from different regions moving there mainly for jobs.

therefore, its fun to compare them and talk about how they have changed with their growth

So are you saying that because you are not putting the Dallas or Houston as Southern cities in the first place?

I personally like Houston because its open, modern, diverse, but still has a little bit of southern hospitality left.
