If you like fake, plastic, backstabbing, "pretend"

Over 20 years ago, I had a really great job offer in Dallas. I moved from Chicago to Houston instead. Why? A church on every other corner told me I would be surrounded by fake religiousness. Was I right? You bet I was. Dallasites are plastic, two-faced (read others comments on the smiling in your face/stabbing you in the back people there), Yankee hating people (and we are talking 2 pieced pinstriped suit guys and not just the rednecks). After all, the clothing Merchandise Mart is in Dallas, they are $8 an hour employees there wearing their Gucci--and, believe it or not, they actually believe they are somebody! Jobwise, Dallas might have been better but at white price? Go to Fort Worth instead and live if you have to be in this part of the State. Cowboys are more honest than these phonies in Dallas. I have personal experience with the acting like they are your friend and aren't really.
I got stuck in hot, sweaty, unfriendly Houston--but, at least, this blue collar town has a little more honesty than Dallas.
