I can't believe this. But it isn't "the Big D," it's "Big D." Like "Big Tex." And Denton is trying on "lil' d" as it's sobriquet.

I call it DFW or the Metroplex, because I traveled through DFW airport a lot as a kid.  I don't know much about the area so Dallas and FW tend to run together for me anyway.

The metroplex is a good name, because you also have places like arlington, plano and irving as part of it, all of which are in the top 100 cities in the us for population. For comparison, Arlington has roughly the same population as Tampa, ~50th in the US. Arlington is still a suburb with an old school main street, Tampa has loving skyscrapers downtown. You don't realize how many people are crammed into the metroplex until you move somewhere else. (Still gently caress arlington forever for not having any public transit option when I lived there. How do you run a tourist economy without public transit, jesus.)

Yeah all those cities suck rear end though it's like "wow Phoenix has so many people." Yeah it's a sea of people and no discernible culture at all.

As far as I can tell, most people in Houston just say they live in Houston. I do know that when I went to the Valley near McAllen, I would call everything McAllen and people would say, "No, we're in Pharr, now" or "We are in Edinburgh". It would always confuse the hell out of me because it would be something as little as crossing a railroad track and we would be in a whole other town.

Badger of Basra posted:https://twitter.com/mkarolian/status/785961405543436288 Came here to post this. At least the local paper made it clear in the headline that they were in the wrong. SAPD motorcycle cops violate city policy by wearing Donald Trump caps I doubt they will face much punishment but it is reassuring that the chief isn't defending their actions.

Remember, the last time Texas elected a liberal woman (the Sainted Ann Richards), it was because the arrogant rear end in a top hat she was running against made rape jokes in public. Texas women are far less likely to put up with that poo poo.

If Texas goes blue everyone in Austin moves to the Bay area and talks loudly and often about how it's so much more conservative than they thought it would be.
