1. Atlanta (most cosmopolitan/international, beautiful city, great night life, best restaurants)


Sorry..but when I visited Atlanta the infrastructure and buildings looked 15 years behind Houston and Dallas. Lots of old shite

That doesn’t even make sense considering Atlanta is the gay capital of the South

This is not factual. Houston is the strip club capital. 60-70 clubs.


I don't think your number is factual. But, I do know this...it's not the number, it's the QUALITY of the club and the women! Atlanta hasn't been known nationwide for nearly 50 years as 'Hotlanta' because of the hot summers there. It's the beautiful w-o-m-e-n and the great clubs they have there.

It was to us when our crews visited there a couple of years ago. One of the biggest complaints from everyone I heard. Maybe it's changed since then.

If the airport of a major city is god awful chances are the city isn’t that great

That’s the case with Kansas City

Dallas' skyline is one that looks dated. Houston's better than Dallas, more updated, but I'd still give Atlanta's skyline the nod in "looks" over Houston. ATL's just more forward-looking than Dallas.

ATLANTA SKYLINE

DALLAS SKYLINE

HOUSTON SKYLINE

The only big cities in the SEC are Houston and Atlanta. If you want to add Dallas, I guess that counts. The rest are big MSA's.

Lived in DFW for a year in college, and went to the USC and MSU games in Jerry World. Going from Arlington to actual Uptown-Dallas is over an hour via uber after any event. But once you get there its a good time

I've flown into or out of 101 US airports, and KC is the worst. Period.

The city itself is just okay, but I do like some burnt ends.

Whatever your assumption is, it is wrong. I lived in NOLA until 2016, visited as recently as last year. Was in Charleston last year. Been a few years for the others you highlighted.

Was in both Tampa and Nashville in the last two months.
