I've only been to Dallas once....and I was amazed at how clean of a city it was.

Every metroplitan area has its Cultural centers....and every metropolitan area of the country has a different culture....I personally like to take in every area I go to and check out the food, nightlife, and people

Seriously, beautiful ballpark there, great BBQ (I know, it doesn't come with Mango chutney and drizzled in Truffle oil), the people I met when I was there were friendly.

My only knock with that area is the weather....to friggin hot for my liking, I like 4 seasons.

in massachuetts we wanted to send our kids to learn to speak chinese, closest place was an hour drive away.
Now, we have a place in our town that teaches it, 5 mins away.
I posted the cities culture and activites - the metroplex is huge and surrounded by towns with great centers, restaurtants, shopping, boutiques. Its amazing here.

If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?
Oh yeah... I forgot, it's Texas, you can't.....

Your local take out joint doesn't qualify as a cultural center.

Job growth is a pretty complex thing and as we've discussed in the past, so many of the areas in the original link are growing because of government spending, energy spending and established businesses who are doing well.

Low taxes and regulation alone aren't an incentive to invest. Companies are taking advantage of where the MONEY IS FLOWING FROM and hiring there.

So how many of those can you walk to? You wanted to argue about Manhattan.

How many?

And I'm still waiting for your source of stats from earlier.
