Do you consider San Antonio,TX part of "the South"? (food, suburbs)

Author also included Dallas and Atlanta as “not being cosmopolitan”. His reasoning was “being spreads out and not very unique”. 3:33

I think this is important. Someone in the comment section addressed this and the author commented -

“yes you’re right, Houston is technically very cosmopolitan as its diverse. However the city is missing that je ne sais quoi that binds it altogether like New York or San Francisco. It feels like a big suburb to me”.

He’s really not lying, but cosmopolitan isn’t the right term here. But he did correct that in the comment. And I agree, (tho not as far as to say one big suburb) but most of USA is this way with few exceptions. And NOLA is one of those exceptions.

San Antonio is not the South. At this point in time, regions as we know them don't really exist anymore in this country - they should totally be redefined.

Houston is pretty much the mecca of everything.

San Antonio? Absolutely not. I see it as southwest.

I loved it during my last visit. Very underrated city.

I love it too and agree with you - it feels southwestern to me, not "southern" per se.

I visit there at least once a year. I just got back from there in fact.

My silly rule of thumb is east of I-45? "The South". Between I-45- I 35? "Transition". West of I-35? "Southwest".

Hey generally speaking, that works for me.

Why would Boomers say that?

I'm not quite sure but they routinely do and have in this thread.

Saying that Hispanics negates an area's Southerness is ridiculous considering Houston is undeniably Southern amd is close to being a Hispanic majority city. There are towns in Georgia and North Carolina (not even border states) with tons of Hispanica as well.
