No I was not wrong. You were. As you usually are. There aren't 40+ consulates in Dallas. I don't care if Texas100 (also erroneously) said that there were 90+ in Houston. There's not. It's a fake number. Just like the idea of 40+ in Dallas. A phone number does not equal a functioning consulate or embassy. Its just a phone number to allow people in a particular area to get access to consular services faster.
Its not petty to demand accuracy. You don't care about accuracy, and then you use the weak excuse of trying to blame another poster's inaccuracy for the fact that you just parrot more inaccuracies. Life advice bro - if you do something wrong, don't KEEP doing it wrong - understand where you could improve and get better. You're a joke, because you just say things that are provably wrong and easy to disprove in the service of shameless cheerleading. It is why many don't take you seriously. And they shouldn't, when you just say things that have very little basis in reality.
To be 100% fair there are plenty of Houston posters that do the same thing, but none of them do so to the extent you do. You are the prototypical sunshine pumper within the Texas C-D space. I'm sure you take that as a point of pride.
If Dallas has all of these consulates on that list, please find the physical location of the Iceland consulate, or the Romania consulate in DFW. They don't exist - a phone number does not a consulate make.
What I said still stands - Houston is the international center of the state and will remain so for the foreseeable future, regardless of how many fake consulates DFW wants to claim. You should get over this. Its not my fault I call out BS when I see it.
Last I checked, Dallas had 6 consulate general offices, Houston had 49. Also, there’s 6 Offices of Foreign missions in the US: New York, LA, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, and Houston.
Houston is an international trade center, partly but not entirely due to being the center of the oil industry in the US. Consulate generals gather around cities that deal with international trade.
I’ll count the updated list later. I believe Dallas has around 15 or so consular offices, but these serve as branches of other offices. (I.e. Korea has a consulate general in Houston and a branch of the Houston office in Dallas). Basically, the reverse of Houston branch of the Dallas federal reserve office.
Here’s a proper list of consulates in Texas and where they are located.
I remember in a previous thread it was asked, “Houston and Dallas what does one have that the other doesn’t”. I remember posting Dallas being a federal reserve center while Houston is a consular hub. This is what each brings in political importance.
Dallas is the head of the region on the other hand for the federal reserve

...Hmm....I wonder why Texas Tallest haven't corrected me yet? ......I know I would definitely correct someone if they called you dallasboi..... Because I'm one of a kind.
It's because two different people have to have two different brains......the two in question share one.
Oh..okay
TexasTallest likely hasn't "corrected" you because (as I said earlier) he likely was either booted out or simply has no further interest in this forum. Not sure why you want us to be the same person...or maybe it's because you don't like the amount of people rooting for Houston.
If Dallas didn't have not ONE crane in the sky it STILL would be worth talking about.
a.Dallas is not building and developing to be a great city.......b.It's building and developing to MAINTAIN it's evolving GREAT city status....there's a difference.
a. Houson
b. Dallas
Houston is FIRST in his situation.
Lol...
You still have yet to name me ONE area in which Dallas is #1.
I've named Houston's #1's several times over...but here's a recap:
Biggest medical complex IN THE WORLD...
Energy Capital OF THE WORLD...
First retractable roof NFL stadium EVER (Of which AT&T ripped off )...
First domed sports stadium EVER...
Biggest mall IN TEXAS...
Biggest CITY IN TEXAS...
And I COULD keep going...after all, there are quite a bit more firsts...but you get the point.
Again...please name ONE AREA in which Dallas is first. All I can think of is first Texas team to win a superbowl. But then...I could just backdoor that lick with the Astros being the first team in Texas to win the World Series...then move on to the Rockets with their CLUTCH winnings FIRST. Soooo....you STILL lose that battle.
Fact is...Dallas is a great city that has all of the important amenities that anyone could wish for in a big city. It is great for families and overall living. But in the battle of IMPORTANCE, Houston's place is already cemented. Dallas can't even compete, and the fact that any logical mind debates against that is otherwordly.

Sad, really
Largest wholesale market in the World - Dallas Market Center
Largest state fair in America - State Fair of Texas
Creator of the integrated circuit (microchip)
First convenience store in the World - 7-Eleven
Largest arts district in America
Largest unified collection of Art Deco buildings, sculptures, and murals in the world - Fair Park
The world's only theater designed by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright - Kalita Humphreys Theater
First mall ever to be featured in Vouge Magazine - NorthPark Center
Only subway station in Texas - Cityplace/Uptown Station
Only major downtown in Texas still with a flagship department store - Neiman Marcus
Largest independent department store in America - Stanely Korshak
It may be due to a lack of historical value. I remember learning about the Boston Tea Party, The Paul Revere ride, Going to Ellis Island and checking out the Statue if Liberty or Times Square, Chicago with its Mob history, the Chicago fire and AL Capone. Baltimore with Fort McHenry, DC with endless history, Philadelphia with Independance Hall and the Liberty Bell. SaN Fran with the Golden Gate Bridge and the Gold Rush us Fisherman's Warf and Ghirardelli Square. Seattle with Alaskan Way and The Space Needle, LA has Hollywood. Heck even Nashville and Memphis have more history..San Antonio has The Alamo. New Orleans has The French Quarter and the War of 1812.
Places like Dallas, Houston and others really don't have any iconic, significance historically. Couple that with having no notable natural features like mountains or beaches rough weather. You cant build history or add natural features.
Most Americans would have to scratch their heads if you ask them about the 2. Yes, you can get a job there, it's cheaper than California, they are big cities and have a lot of mann made stuff to do. Yes I know JFK was shot I'm Dallas and Texas was won at San Jacinto. But most Americans don't care a lot about that.

I think you're mistaken on what this list should consist of, but maybe that's my fault since I neglected to make this clear: I meant number 1's of actual IMPORTANCE.
Being the first mall to be featured on the cover of some magazine is helping America....HOW???
Biggest fair? Cool...Houston has the biggest rodeo. What now? And how is this important??
Let's try this again...Houston is the energy capital of the world. That is very important. What about Dallas can rival this?
Houston is the first to have both retractable and domed sports stadiums EVER. This is important because it set the trend for pretty much all other new stadiums to have the same. For GOD'S sake, your city wouldn't even HAVE it's Gazillion-Dollar stadium if NRG hadn't set the trend. So again...what innovations has Dallas made that can rival this?
Think hard this time please...because I'm not coming up with anything. And I'm being serious.

I mean...while you're mostly right, I'm pretty sure that everyone associates the Cowboys and the 80's soap opera with Dallas...and Nasa, the Astrodome, and Beyonce with Houston.
Most people in America except those who are well travelled couldn't tell you anything about those other cities you mentioned outside of the things that EVERYONE knows either.
...I Never want to fight..... I'm all for JUSTICE.
People have overblown my personality to make it seem like I create confrontation and confusion when actually 95% of my post are in RESPONSE to injustice towards Dallas.... SIMPLE AS THAT.
You can EASILY see that if you go to my profile and read all of my post.
I never ignite fights...But I ALWAYS stand up for DALLAS.
They think I hate Houston....And I never even talk about Houston unless it's being compared to Dallas in a certain category....I visit their sub -Forum 1 or 2 times a year...Not because I don't like it but because I don't live there. So I couldn't enjoy what's being said.....Same with Austin and San Antonio..
Which is why I cleverly created the "Downtown BIG 6" thread...to have one spot to talk About all of them at once.......Then they said I made that thread to brag about Dallas..When it really was their fault for not adding info about whatever city THEY WERE FROM......I guess Dallas people are more happier with where they live than all of the other residents in other cities in the state.
They hate me for loving Dallas so much. ...So I guess it looks like bragging.
SO...NO..... I do not want a fight Kathryn.
That's fine, I'm not going to fight you anyway. I didn't even read all your post. LOL
