I mean does Texas lack the luxuries found in Cali and NYC?

Does the level of education in Texas match that of these states?

Do the people dress well in Texas?

Please explain...



Answer
It depends on what part of Texas one is in. Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio each have a lot of museums, arts venues, etc... Dallas and Austin are wealthier and more liberal. The basic stereotype for women is true...big hair and big boobs. At one time Dallas was the plastic surgery capital of the world, (more plastic surgery performed here than anywhere else). Dallas is about prestige and living large....large homes, luxury cars, designer clothing...whether one can afford it or not.


Addison, Tx a close in suburb of Dallas has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the country.

The shopping here is unbelieveable...mall after mall after mall. People in the cities do dress well.

Education level I am sure is the same as most other states...of couse we have big schools like UT/Austin, but, we also have prestige schools like SMU/Dallas.

However, when you go to the far out suburbs and small towns, you do find the Bubba mentality....the mullets on guys, women with 1980's mall hair and shoulder pads...and rusted out pickups with shotguns hanging in the rear window. But, this is really no different from small towns in other states.

Texas, and Dallas in general is a melting pot of the U.S. Because of the tax benefits, (no state income tax), many companies have relocated their headquarters here. So, it is hard to find people in Dallas that are natives to the area. Most of us have transferred from other states. We of course bring our cultures with us, and so the face of Dallas has changed considerably in the past 50 years. Even the Texas drawl is not nearly as prevelant as it was just 20 years ago.
