Would it not be fair to say that applies to all the really large southern cities that have experienced a lot of recent growth?

If someone told me they wanted to go to Georgia for a week and "experience southern culture", I would sent them to Augusta or a small town like Thomson- but not Altlanta, perhaps not even Athens at this point.

For Texas, I would not send a person to Houston, Dallas or San Antonio. There are any of a number of decent sized towns one could go and see the genuine difference here vs. elsewhere in the US- but in a major city it won't be a driving force that is readily evident to an outsider.
