“The waterways around Houston fit the definitions of creeks and bayous, which is why the terms are used interchangeably here. During dry spells, the channels around Houston can run very low and slow, more like a classic bayou. But when it rains, the bayous fill up quickly and start acting more like a classic creek (or raging river, depending on the size of the rain event).
And, of course, we’re in the deep south, so we’re definitely in bayou country.”

Oklahoma is not “the south”. I don’t understand City-Data’s obsession with trying to place a state that has closer ties to the Great Plains as south. Sorry to break it to you- Oklahoma is not “the south”. I’ve clocked more time than likely most here, minus an actual resident, in the state of Oklahoma..and it’s more similar to Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and North Texas (which is also NOT the south and I lived in Dallas and still have family there).. Than anywhere most would consider “the south”.
But the vocal City Data minority will bloviate that “it’s the south”. Believe what you want then. When I was 5, I believed in Santa Claus too. Sheesh
I'm born and raised in North Texas. It is the South. And, in my opinion, the majority of Oklahomans live in areas that are culturally closest to DFW than any other metro or surrounding rural area.
The uniqueness of the chicken is an entirely different thread (and a delicious one I might add). You get that it was a missed opportunity for name-branding. However I will say that Hattie B's in Nashville and Prices Chicken Coop in Charlotte are some of the most unique flavors I've ever had!!!
Meh..Bojangles is hit or miss, not as consistent as Popeyes. So is Nashville's hot chicken. Don't get me wrong, when cooked properly both are good. Prices is good, never had hot chicken at Hatties B...one of the copycats, forget the spot...again, just ok.

I agree with you about Bojangles.
As far as the Nashville Hot Chicken, was it Prince's by chance?

Putting Raleigh & Durham...whether considering them separately or together....in a "lower tier" than Jacksonville, Richmond, Birmingham, and Norfolk.....is ridiculous.

Raleigh, yes. Durham belongs in the third tier though and if ranked in order of importance, it would certainly be very near or at the top.
In actuality though, the Triangle should be considered singularly and as such, would be in Big Aristotle's second tier (which would be better served broken up into 2a and 2b IMO).

As a Jacksonville resident I agree. Raliegh is much more attractive to transplants than Jacksonville

Being more attractive to transplants isn't a valid criteria for tiering. Myrtle Beach is more attractive to transplants than Memphis, but that doesn't mean that the former is in a higher tier.
