I saw Dallas as more clannish.

I lived in Dallas for 20 years, however I did a lot of business in Houston. I concur with your Dallas assessment of being clannish i.e. snobbish. I now live near the Red River outside a small town and love it. That being said the best "big" town I ever lived in was Oklahoma City....much like Houston great people without the traffic. Actually Fort Worth is like Houston and OKC.... Tulsa is to OKC as Dallas is to Fort Worth if that makes any sense.

You were saying ...

Tulsa is to OKC as Dallas is to Fort Worth if that makes any sense.

Hmmmm... that's an interesting comparison... and maybe that's why I would live in either Tulsa or Dallas, but never Fort Worth or Oklahoma City... LOL...

I’ve been in all of them and it makes sense to me. Tulsa and Dallas have more of the old “Oil Money” and museum type culture. OKC, Houston, and Fort Worth have it too, but they don’t seem to be defined by it like the first two. OKC and Fort Worth are a lot alike and have more of a “Country” or “Redneck” feel to them.
