The bolded stood out to me. Are you familiar with downtown? There are miles of tunnels that go beneath downtown, FULL of people, businesses/eateries. Hardly any cities have tunnels like this. If these people were all above ground, believe me the streets would be FILLED. You should go check it out sometime. It blew my mind when I first went down there... Partially because I never even knew it existed!

Maceo nailed it on the head.... except for the strip club part.... Houston has got to be the nations strip club capitol lol.

Ok, I know i'm really late on this, but i'm at work right now and just came along this thread while browsing google.... City kid: you are probably right that all of Atlantas metro counties will equal more people than Harris and Ft. Bend county, but there is only one problem with that... Houston metro has more counties than just Harris and Ft. Bend. If you compare metro to metro population, Houston will outnumber Atlanta by about 800,000 people. With the Houston metro being one of the fastest growing areas in the country, Atlanta will not catch up to this anytime soon. Atlanta is booming and doing very well, but so is Houston. Both cities are great and are growing rapidly, but until Houston has a horrible economic recession, Atlanta won't come close.
