Texas is its own country.

True statement!

It's definitely too much of a melting pot. The entire city is growing exponentially with people from all over the country (and the world). I live just south of Memorial Park in the Galleria area, and I've been all over the Heights, River Oaks, etc., and I don't get a southern feel at all. Farther west - in Katy, the Woodlands, as HQWest pointed out - maybe.
