Texas, the new Florida

I've heard from multiple sources that FTW has a lot more culture and character than Dallas. Dallas is an aesthetic wasteland of nothing interesting to see. And to not just pick on Dallas, it's pretty much the entire surrounding area. I've often wondered why the first settlers decided to stay here. "Yeah let's settle down here. It's brutally hot in the summer, there's not much to really see, the pollen is terrible in the Spring and Fall, but let's stay."
Dallas = keep up with the Jonses; money-grabbing butt crevasses.
