Shuttershock<\/p>\n
Last week, we published Judgmental Maps\u2019 take on Dallas<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t exactly a glowing perception of our city, and to be honest, it seemed vastly more unforgiving than the book\u2019s take on Houston and Austin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, the laughing-crying emoji was putting overtime in the comments when we shared it on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n We gave accurate reads the credit where they were due (looking at you, University Park), and according to a couple of readers, Nickelback fans do, in fact, coalesce in the Northeast corner of Dallas. <\/p>\n And that was just scratching the surface of the map.<\/p>\n \u201cGay Parade!\u201d is an objectively factual nickname for Oak Lawn<\/a>. We aren\u2019t completely sure what \u201cRick Perry Home of the Delusional\u201d has to do with Carrollton, specifically, but it probably wouldn\u2019t take much convincing us of its merit. We\u2019ll let you have your own fun<\/a> in guessing which neighborhoods were named \u201cReligious Wingnuts,\u201d \u201cChemical Spill\u201d and \u201cPatriots for Jesus.\u201d <\/p>\n As expected, the Fort Worthians were ravenous in the comments. We found that especially bold, considering their city wasn\u2019t even relevant enough to get a Judgmental Map at all. <\/p>\n We obviously love the city, but everywhere has its pros and cons. Except Houston \u2014 it\u2019s all just a giant, humid charcuterie board for mosquitoes down there. Even loud and proud (are there any other kind of Dallasites?) residents were honest about the less\u2026 endearing facets of life around here \u2014 suburbanites in the comments who claimed grating traits were exclusive to Dallas proper are in for a rude awakening. Of course, the Dallas Cowboys caught a stray or two, as well.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll let you see for yourself below.<\/p>\n Morgan on Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fort Worth: Where the West begins. Dallas: Where the East peters out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Kris on Instagram:<\/strong><\/p>\n Take it from this Fort Worth kid, they\u2019re right.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dick on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n That leaves Houston without the perfect name now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Anthony on Facebook:<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, it is full of Cowboys fans, so what did you expect? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sarah on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t speak too highly of a few \u2018burbs either. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Michael on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n And proud of it! <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mila on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Austin is an open mental hospital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Nathaniel on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n Austin sucks huge, hard donkey dongs compared to Dallas. DFW is simply too big to lost all of its authenticity. As long as we have Burger Street, Babe\u2019s and The Grapevine Bar, all hope is not lost. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Pam on Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n When I left my hometown in Maryland at 18, I chose Dallas. I lived there for nearly 40 years. I LOVE Dallas. In 2019, I semi-retired and moved to Big Bend National Park. I can spot a Dallasite within minutes of meeting them. They are extremely douchy. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Rick on Instagram<\/strong><\/p>\n But the question is, does anyone in Dallas really give a shit what people say?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n
