Dallasite

Only in Dallas do you see something built for vanity's sake.

Exactly. This type of thing only happens in Dallas.

Thank goodness you don't let anyone forget how much you hate Dallas. It is really refeshing.

just a few that come to mind...

and again...nice shots...

Good looking shots bro.

...Not to the chagrin of Dallas posters in this board....

It has been and always will be a controversial development, regardless of the status. It requires a ton of money period. Some say it's return will be worth and others do not.

Like that last comment pal. Thanks for the photos.

Nice shots of the trolley at WestVil.

Diggin shots one and three...

Great shots TS.

^ Agreed. This behavior is not uniques to Dallas or LA. It may be more common, but not unique.

Coog, somehow I knew you would be on this like stink on ____. lol

When is this supposed to happen?

This is not meant to start a war or a "See I told you so", but I thought some of you may like this.

Coming soon....

Who knows? It could be rather unique or a total bust.

I voted the Woodlands based on economics, but if I were moving to Houston with a family I'd choose Sugarland or Kingwood.

Oh yeah, is it funny that another thread has been opened comparing the two cities? Nope, because Houston doesn't have a chip on it's shoulder about Dallas....

This line summed it up for me. "I attended SMU and have lived in Dallas since then. But I'm a Houstonian at heart. When you get right down to it, Houston doesn't have a chip on it's shoulder about Dallas. Houston is laid back. Dallas is uptight. Houston is inclusive. Dallas is exclusive. Houston is good natured. Dallas is a spoiled sport."

I agree totally. As evidenced by the demeanor of some of the folks 'round here.

Houston is the best city ever

Economics say you really want to host. As a sports fan I would love for the Texans to win one, but hosting is the best for the city of Houston.

How about the best of both worlds, first time ever home team win in the superbowl

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

I agree. It depends on your perspective.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

We don't need glitzy lights to gussy-up our downtown to make it appear to be more than it is.

But some people love their lights. Kinda like cockroaches like neon.

Are you referring to any city in particular there?

I guess this is good thing for the Houston metro. I like Pearland. But watch out for the suburbs.....when they get strong and want more tax revenue, they'll find a way to lure companies out of the city.

For examples, see Plano in the 80s and more recently Frisco.

I like the way the Houston skyline looks at night. I really dig it when you can see the galleria area, downtown, and the medical district from a distance. I used to refer to it as "the three downtowns of Houston" when driving in from College Station.

Dallas is still king of the $30K/year millionaires. Lived there, saw it, left it.

PRINT IT

Nice....and now you can SHUT IT!

You know after reading your response I have to concede.

That being said I don't feel like it's me or most others who get there defenses up when this Dallas crap starts. It just seems like "some" Dallas posters think there you know what doesn't stink and that there the crowned jewel of Texas and I get sick of it. Man I think it's great that a city like Dallas is thriving but sometimes it seems as if some posters are goading Houstonians.

I love cities and how different many of them are, Dallas included. In fact I enjoy driving through Dallas when I'm there. In other words I don't dislike the city itself I just can't stand the attitude of some Dallasites and that's the only city in the country I feel that way about.

There I said it so you can go on hatin me.

Sure, there are personalities as you described, but those exist everywhere.

Dallas, it's leaders, it's publications, businesses, and residents are proud of the city and naturally boast about things that excite them. This is true of Denver, Atlanta, St Louis, Chicago, New Orleans, Nashville, and Houston (you get my point).

So the question then becomes, why is that disgust and hate only displayed when something refers to Dallas? Also, how does this exact topic always always emerge? It is natural to have an intra-state rivalry, but man, Dallas and Houston should be pulling for each other more often than not IMO, residents included.
