The other night I was in an email battle with Rocketboom creator Andrew Baron concerning the Houston vs Dallas rivalry. Baron is from Dallas.
Which Texas city is better?
I have readers on this blog from both cities. Chime in.
I told Andrew that I didn't realize there was such a big rivalry, outside of football, until I went to Baylor. There my Dallas dorm-mates kept telling me how much my hometown sucked. It was on.
Do I have anything against Dallas? No. I've been offered three jobs there in my lifetime. If I had to sum up the difference between the two cities quickly, I would say Dallas is more image conscious and Houston is more laid back.
I know at least Murdock will chime in. He is from Dallas. I told Andrew that I sometimes bring Mr. and Mrs. Murdock to Houston and watch them be in awe of Minute Maid Park or the Galleria area. That's a big joy in life for me.
I know Houston has plenty of haters. Just read these comments.
