NY, LA and DC have some justification for feeling that way. DFW doesn't. Maybe it's just my animus towards the Cowboys (though I despise Dan Snyder's team every bit as much, if not more).

Have resided in East Dallas since '80 and have never met the types you're referencing, other than the arrogant that exist everywhere. So, it is probably you and your supercilious attitude toward those who don't perceive things the way you do.

Which reminds me of a saying: Can't see the forest for the trees.

I lived in San Antonio for 3 years and have traveled extensively across the state of Texas for decades from Texarkana to El Paso from Corpus Christi to Amarillo and from Laredo to Wichita Falls and I never experienced the "center of the universe mentality" anywhere other than the DFW Metroplex.
