Too many posts come across as petty or insecure. Try not to make so many threads into those that focus primarily on your city.
I'm not a Houston poster. I'm just saying that it's not a soulless city, which it obviously isn't when you look past the stereotypes.

I think the first thing we need to do is define what "soul-less" is because I fail to see how Atlanta fits that description

A quick or "narrow" way to define a city with soul is one with its own unique personality and one-of-a-kind identity. One with its own brand of culture

I think that's a rather narrow definition of the term.

If you think SLC has more "Soul" than Denver, that completely discredits everything you just said. Just sayin'.

While I'm glad Denver has the least votes so far, how can you call a city soul-less? Just because it's not what you're looking for doesn't mean that city doesn't has it's own culture/attributes. I can name something that can be considered "Soulful" about all of these cities.

Dallas: Sports culture, Cowboy culture, Diversity, Shopping
Orlando: Tourist industry, vacation culture, amusement parks
Atlanta: African American culture, 1996 Olympics, R&B/Hip Hop Music culture
Houston: Diversity, Space, Great variety of ethnic cuisine
Denver: Sports, outdoorsy culture, Mexican population, Cowboy culture

Nothing besides the 96 Olympics in Atlanta is a unique attribute for any of those cities...just sayin'

I've never been to Denver, but I read mixed reviews about it. In pictures, Denver is gorgeous, but it seems like a city that residents either love or absolutely hate.
