We're town of grimy, overweight latinos who found a way to monetize a dirty little creek running through the middle of town

Again, I exhort you to grow thicker skin.
Glad you like Austin. It's tCapital of the Republic so I guess y'all have that going for y'all

Im irritated by intellectual laziness and feel the compulsive need to at least attempt to correct it, why do you think I spend so much time on the poli board?

Getting paid per post?
I kid. I do find you and spleen more intellectually honest than most (on either side) on there.
But you don't get the irony of somebody saying "you just don't understand," as not coming off as pretentious in and of itself?

Yes but in this case I think it's true

I don't get any comparison between Baton Rouge and Austin.
Baton Rouge is a state capital and a college city, but it has huge dirty areas, and the petro-chemical industry, and it's flat and swampity.
Fayetteville isn't a state captial. Fay is the southern end of a rapidly growing metro with 3 Fortune 500 companies and dozens of start-ups. Fayetteville is in limestone hills, like Austin (and has a big clear, deep canyon reservoir about 20 minutes away, like Lake Travis).
NWA is similar to the size Austin metro was in the 80s. It has a big white collar population, a big university, and the main minority group is Latinos.
I get the comparisons, even though every up and coming place not in Colorado or Oregon makes the same comparison to itself.

Also, the cultural amenities that keep being announced every other week in Fayetteville and NWA is genuinely difficult to keep track of.
Fayetteville is getting some good ones lately, but Bentonville has several awesome new cultural amenities in its development pipeline already. Downtown Bentonville would have been an incredible BUY about 5 years ago. It still is today, but talk about a hip and upcoming neighborhood exploding into existence overnight...
Wow.

I'd hate to see the uncool stuff.

The Dallas vs. Houston rhetoric is hilarious. Most of us Alamo City types just sit back and laugh
And I'm looking enough to remember that no one ever took the Spurs seriously or associated a winning team with the city, so I enjoy that quip now

This. This. This x1000000
It describes them very well. I had a few college roommates who were total suburban douches. They were cool, but they were total fake wannabe country boys.
Oh, and don't you dare say they are from Dallas! No sir!!! They are proud to be from Allen, Plano, McKinney, etc. Don't ever generalize that about them.
They're proud of their small Texas communities and are above anyone who lives in Dallas proper.Posted on 11/4/16 at 9:13 pm to TbirdSpur2010
