Better skyline Houston or Dallas? (Center, Trinity: horses, nice areas, ghetto)

Dallas doesn't really classify as hilly, at least nothing to go home bragging about! Austin's hills are noteworthy. That's why i told you guys not to even open that argument to save yourselves some embarrassment.

What you say may be true, however, it still doesn't change the fact that the terrain in and around Houston is flat as a pancake as compared to Dallas.

I'm not denying that.

I was just saying that we shouldn't try to pretend that Dallas isn't primarily flat either.

I consider them to be slopes, not hills. There are many places in Colorado Springs where I can overlook the city. I think the FW side of the metro does get pretty hilly, but the closest thing we have to Colorado Springs and the rest of Colorado in Texas is Austin.

Let's not get into the hill discussion because you guys will get laughed at. seriously

Moving on... back to topic of skylines

What you need to drop is the Colorado Springs talk!?

"intensive" purposes......lol
"slopes". Is that a technical term. You object to rolling terrain?

Well I know Fort Worth is not flat. It's some pretty nice size hills on the Fort Worth side. You can see the elevation of the terrain from DFW freeways. H-town is flat as a pancake. But they do have the pine trees on the north side of the metro. It's really not logical to call DFW flat because it really isn't. DFW has more of a rolling terrain.

YES... intensive, meaning what counts! The little rolling terrain you guys like to call hills are not enough to shake your flat classification.

And don't you start boy!!! This is between Dallas and Houston!

I already said that the FW side of the metro is not flat. So yes, the entire DFW region is not completely flat. By that same token, neither is Houston's. Conroe and Huntsville have a few small hills (slopes)

try intents and purposes


Rolling terrain with some hills increasing on the west and south side of the metroplex. How's that. As opposed to Houston flat.

LOL. I guess so. DFW has the rolling terrain but Houston has the trees.

Once you exit the freeways in Dallas, the terrain within Dallas' older interior neighborhoods resemble what's seen in the pics. Below is North Oak Cliff, but terrain-wise, certain areas of Lakewood, Park Cities, Turtle Creek and definitely much of the southern portion of city looks like this.

Some of that looks like areas around the bayous in the inner loop. Mainly the first, second, and fourth.
