Atlanta's black women are stright. They ain't the best looking and ain't the worst looking.
Man, where in hell were you hanging out? the only other cities I can think of that can touch Atlanta in that category would be DC or NYC. Miami and Houston have their share too.
My friend in Dallas is always lamenting about "Grove Rats" I told him to stop hanging out at Big T's, LOL.
I think Plano/Allen and Alpharetta/Roswell would be a more accurate comparison.
Marietta would be part Mesquite with a bit of Garland thrown in and a taste of Sunnyvale.
I could see the Newnan/Waxahachie comparison.
Carrollton/Lewisville/Coppell could be Smyrna/Kennesaw/Acworth
I guess Cedar Hill/DeSoto is Dallas' Lithonia/Stone Mountain?
Still trying to figure out what Atlanta's Arlington/Grand Prairie or Irving would be. I'm leaning towards the Doraville/Chamblee/Brookhaven area of DeKalb being the equivalent to Irving/Valley Ranch. I guess Perimeter Center is our Las Colinas? I'm still also trying to figure out Richardson, because it could just as easily be Brookhaven/Dunwoody/Doraville/Chamblee
There's not really a Ft Worth parallel in Atlanta. DFW is a multipolar region with two dominant cities. Metro Atlanta has one dominant city.

atlanta definitely doesn't have an arlington. i do think that i want to compare addison to sandy springs, though.
Marietta and Denton or McKinney
Newnan and Waxahachie?

Remember the city limits sizes and annexation laws between the two states and MSAs. I added up Neighboring cities and census-designated places into a area close to match the city limits size of the city you
Chosen. Atlanta and FT Worth OK

Lancaster and Duncanville?

Earlier, I compared Sandy Springs equivalent would be Far North Dallas, but I can throw Addison in there too, because Addison is mostly commercial, but has a lot of high-density apartment/condo complexes. Sandy Springs has quite a few developments similar to this down in the Roswell Road/285 area.
Carrollton/Farmers Branch can compare to Marietta/Smyrna a bit, BUT many parts of Marietta/Smyrna are older.
I guess parts of Gwinnett could be our Arlington. Remember, Gwinnett once was the biggest county without public transportation. Arlington is one of the largest cities in the country without public transportation. These are boomburbs that seemingly grew out of nowhere. Lots of different sides to the areas, good and bad.
But Gwinnett has 800k, while Arlington is knocking on 350- 400k. And I'm comparing a county to an incorporated city, so it's not a perfect comparison at all.
LOL..so Best Southwest is akin to Lithonia/Stone Mountain/Riverdale/Jonesboro!?!?! Yuck...
