Who cares about Dallas, Houston or Atlanta - do people actually go those places when they don't have to? I mean travel there by choice rather than necessity.
My criteria wasnt about appeal, but influence. Dallas and Houston are the biggest hubs of cowboy culture, which is probably the most iconic American look recognized around the world. These cities define the way other US cities are built, leading the way in car centric design. And the oil industry is responsible for every war we've been in for the last 30 years.
Atlanta, in addition to having a large population, is a huge center for music, food, and civil rights, and plays an outsized role in national politics as turnout there can sway presidential elections and congressional balance.
No one goes to Texas on purpose. Something has to go wrong in your life to land you there.
There are people who having decided to move there was the beginning of everything going wrong with their life, and i'm not even joking
This is true. As someone trapped in TX, I know lots of people who moved here excited that they sold their [insert civilized place] house and can buy a mansion in TX. Golly geez, people sure are nice here. Then they realize why the house was comparatively so inexpensive. Then they learn the difference between nice and kind. Then they leave or wish they could.
Welcome to Atlanta where the players play, and we ride on them thangs like every day
Being forced to go there is what makes them the rotating 4th.
