Also, a lot of you guys said that Atlanta has more entertainment than DFW. I don't think so. Atlanta tends to get boring at times because most of the entertainment is in Atlanta. Whereas in DFW, it appears to be in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington. From doing research, it seems that in DFW you have more entertainment options.

Now can we please not go through this again.



Go back and read we keep having to clear it up from these Texas posters who keep posting these stupid comments the Atlanta is advertising itself As a black city... It's the same ones and you know who they are

...and nowhere does it say that ATLANTA IS PROMOTING IT SELF TOWARDS BLACKS, ATLANTA IS PUSHING THE BLACK MECCA DOWN PEOPLES THROAT.

Every comment that I've seen from a Texas poster refers to people outside Atlanta seeing it that way, or that it's portrayed on television/radio that way.
What part of that do you not get? Won't the 3-4 (it's always the same group) of you let the defensiveness down for just 30 seconds to read. You all never read, just jump to conclusions, assume or just straight up reword an entire paragraph. Then have the nerve to think C-D is out to get you all. No, beacoup people just get tired of dealing with it. Even Atlanta posters have started seperating themselves from the other Atlanta posters because they don't read/listen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you still think that you see this "claim" floating around the thread then just leave it alone.
You can't change a person's opinion about something until they choose to except reality and you definitely can't change it if their opinion is a figment of your imagination. (Actually you can, you just have to realize that it's all in your head).

^after rereading this, I'm quite sure I just waisted my time.

Yeah so that's why Houston has more flights to Mexico then any other American city. There PLENTY of Mexican ties Mexican cultural influences in this part of Texas. I believe there are well over half a million people of Mexican decent living in Houston.

The Aztec Empire didn't expand to present day Texas. Any Aztec influence in architecture is going to be and indirect influence from Mexican architecture which heavily influenced by Spanish, Pueblo, and Aztec.

I'm not sure if you're trying to compare the two, but I get more of a Lenox feel from the Galleria vs. Northpark. I've never been to the Mall of Georgia so I can't speak on that.

Well that depends on the person taste.. Think with all the celebs that live here and who come to visit and throw parties around here... I would say Atlanta because I have attended some great parties...

Sometimes, it does get corny and played out here in Atlanta.

Mall of Georgia is more like Stonebriar Mall in Frisco.
