Which city is the LA of the South: Houston or Atlanta?

[Barlow]

I live in Southern Louisiana and mfs love them some cowboy boots and trail riding

nikkas wear boots and ride horses all through the south. stop listening to coli nikkas

i literally grew up next to a horse stable in MS

Atlanta is similar to LA as far as being a mecca for transplants and a land of dreams and aspirations
Only similarity I see between LA and houston is that both are sprawling metropolis, for all that you might as well compare jacksonville to LA

I feel ya on the Cowboy boot part. I think when you start seeing alot of that shyt then you are in the west or south-west. That aint really southern in my eyes.


Basically you have the dirty south which is GA, SC, NC, LA, AB, FL, TN, MS. Maybe Kentucky and Arkansas too. All of those states are similar in culture, land/climate ,way of speaking, food, etc. TX is obviously geographically south but is far different in culture, terrain, etc.

I have heard that Houston is basically Louisiana though.

you can see where TX terrain changes , on a map . Central TX and East TX is definitely similar to the rest of the south

I've lived in Houston for several years, visited Atlanta multiple times, and have been to LA a couple of times when I was stationed in the San Diego area and nothing can compare to LA. Each city has a different vibe and culture to compare to each other.

I am from LA and live In Atlanta. There is no comparison at all. LA has too much fukkery compared to Atlanta.

Is South Florida Dirty too? I feel like it's more Caribbean/Northeast in general

Yeah South Florida is another one like Atlanta that is kinda out of place.

Neither. Miami us the LA of the south. Miami has Cubans instead of Mexicans. Little to no Asians, and the surface of Miami is flat

Atlanta is the Atlanta of the south. GA is the empire state of the south. We don't need to be the new LA or NYC or whatever. We have a rich civil rights heritage thats unique to the dirty south that no other region can really compare to. GA in general is still pretty against the coastal elite style lifestyle of NY and CA, Atlanta being the obvious exception.



I don't mean to imply that we're perfect or Wakanda or any of that bullshyt but I'm just saying.

[West Coast Avenger]

Houston is part of the west. The south only goes as far west as Louisiana.
if you border states like new Mexico and Oklahoma you basically in cowboy boot country. aint no swamps in texas and there aint' no cacti in the south.
