Yeah we come out the wood works when necessary... If we can rep our city, we can, and we will!

Houston is crazy. Is that where Cheaters is filmed? j/k

I love living in DC. It's full of young professional black people and all kinds of young professional folks. If you want more info, feel free to PM me

SisterGreeks & Sorors, If I could detour briefly....

What do we think about the city of....Detroit?

I think that's where the boss-man has me going next.

End Detroit detour.

Oh and for the record, 2 of my Specs live in Charlotte,NC and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

One is having a gorgeous 3-bedroom house built for under 160k.

And from what I hear it's just a hop skip and jump from ATL, in the event you want some more nightlife.

Cheaters is filmed in Dallas.

To me, Savannah is another Charleston. One of my friends lived there and winding up moving back to Charleson within a year. Both of them are tourist towns and at least in Charleston's case, not many young black professionals because it is SO HARD to get a professional job. That's why I left.

Cosign with Charlotte and Atlanta. Raligh(sp)/Durham/Chapel Hill is on fire right now. I know two sorors who just moved there and they enjoy it. Columbia is nice and there are plenty of days I want to move back there. There are a lot of professional blacks there but the night life maybe dull sometimes. Luckly it's only an hour from Charlotte and and three from Atlanta.

Thats in Dallas.

Either way if Cheaters were filmed in your city or town your city would look equally crazy!

Hi Infamous,
I heard that you can buy a house there for less than the cost of some cars so it might not be all bad if this you're in the market to purchase.

Hi Soror,
I posted a thread inquiring of Texas and Dallas sorors re Dallas but no one responded. Is it not the place to be? There seems to be alot of backing of Houston. How do the cities compare in your opinion?

Me personally, I don't like Dallas. It has its OK spots but for the most part it looks old to me. Even in the nice spots it looks old. The people are different than in Houston also. Although Houston is bigger than Dallas, its easier to navigate in Houston than in Dallas. I love Houston. I love my the people, my church, the professionals, my chapter, who happens to be the BEST chapter in Alpha Kappa Alpha hands down, and the food!

Plus its closer to my home which is in Southern Louisiana!

MeezDiscreet · #26 05-15-2007, 03:07 PM

Dallas is my hometown and while it may not be as metropolitan as Houston, I still think it's a great place. I think it's easier to navigate and takes less time--you get almost anywhere in 15-20 minutes compared to the 30 minutes or more in Houston.

RitaMae1908 · #27 05-15-2007, 03:28 PM

Houston has more restaurants per square inch than any city in the nation!!! That's probably why we listed as one of the FATTEST cities too though!

All my family is from South LA as well so it doesn't take me no time to hop in the whip and roll down I-10 to see my people!!!

Hi Soror. Thanks. I guess that I was under the impression that Dallas had alot of new housing and development. Your observation about it looking old is an interesting one. I will have to see if that jumps out at me when I visit in a couple of weeks. How are the people different than in Houston? Are the AAs different than the AAs in Houston? There seemed to be alot of places having happy hours each week when I looked online so I just assumed that it was a good place for singles that want to go out and meet other people. Have you found that this isn't the case?

Houston may not be an option for me as I am primarily being led by opps - long and short-term and Dallas appears to have more in line with what I do.

I appreciate your feedback,
SC

Hi MeezDiscreet,
What is the Dallas feel? You mentioned that it's not as metropolitan as Houston. Does it feel like a small and/or country town?
What is it about Dallas that you think is great? What is the AA and dating scene like there for AAs?

Houston has really been well endorsed on the board. I honestly don't no anybody who has moved here and wants to go back to Lousiana. I think Houston is great becuase even though its a city its so wide that there are like 25 mini Houstons in Houston. Plus as I said earlier the cost of living is awesome! I had a brand new 2500 sq. foot house built 4 years ago and after upgrades we only paid $123,000, so whatever the occupation Houston is the place!
