Sprawl, yes. Hillbilly, NO.

Both those cities are just as cosmopolitan as any other large US city.

D/FW & Houston Metro are the 4th & 6th largest metropolitan areas in the nation. I'm sure you contribute quite a bit to society don't you?

That's not weird considering the name of the arena and the headquarters is in the area.

Thing is, American Airlines is located in the OTHER big city in DFW... But you're close.
