They do flux from year to year but Dallas was never alpha. It topped at Beta plus. Atlanta was alpha but is now beta plus.

Sorry, my mistake I didnt think Dallas was ever alpha.

That said, chill the hell out. It was a simple mistake. My opinion on Dallas hasnt changed since I moved here. I can see both cities for what they are and Im just as hard on Houston homers. Im hated by everyone.

Is In and Out really the best measure of a city having arrived ?

No its not the best measure...but to know that houstonians have been waiting every since they opened the first one in Dallas says alot.

Jack you are pretty level headed...but just like me sometimes you let your emotions get the best of you...and it shows in OUR posts...so.....alright you are an honorable mention.

It says they feared the competition in the Houston market more than the DFW market...
