Atlanta may not dominate for long. If the drought keeps going, well, good luck.

I love New Orleans, but some of your arguments are wrong.

• The oldest city on the South is St. Augustine, FL.
• A lot of black folks in NOLA can trace their ancestory back to "island people"--slaves and freedmen from Haiti.
• NOLA has a huge hip hop scene like Atlanta.

Dont remember if it was mentioned already, but Miami is not really of the South.

Its more of a gateway, straddling the US and Latin America/the Caribbean.

I've been to St. Augustine many times, visited the fountain of youth, don't know if they have updated it there but what a joke it was, painted plywood sign and an old rusty faucet with a women handing out dixie cups full of the water...lol

By oldest city I think he meant oldest place in the South that anybody actually cares about and/or that actually has any power.

Atlanta, no contest.

So Houston by default? Thanks!

Nah, I'm also going to have to go with Atlanta.

I dont think most people consider Texas part of "the South"

its Texas...
