Dallas is all about the $40,000aires, leasing BMW M3s to pretend they're wealthy.  Telecom and High Tech and some gas and oil money dominate its culture.

Fort Worth is a lot more grounded.  Its culture is based more on the businesses of livestock and agriculture.
Gotcha. Thanks for the insight.

Maybe not Miami proper, but other areas nearby would check the boxes, if I'm interpreting you correctly.

Perhaps @Honestbuckeye and @Mdot21 can weigh in.
Oh yes Mdot - Mr Curator and escort who manages the errands of private clients along with their champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Yes dial him up immediately REFINED is his middle name

In reality it's a lot more blended than it used to be-- there's some Dallas in Fort Worth and some Fort Worth in Dallas.

But the backbone of each city remains independent and unique.

Now that appeals to me I can get some Live Oak at least. Could I still drive around a 2011 Corolla or 2002 Passat?

In Austin, sure.

In Dallas, I'm pretty sure you'd get forced off the road by Highland Park cops using the PIT maneuver and cited for uglifying their fair city.

And in Fort Worth, you wouldn't be able to see over all of the F350s.

He lives over that way, but not actually in Miami. @Honestbuckeye lives in an area that I would likely have chosen if we picked the Atlantic over the Gulf.

Consulting these guys makes sense. You want to know about SW FL? I'm your guy.

And yes to St. Pete over Tampa. Clearwater over Tampa too. Can always drive into Tampa from those places. Tampa has an awesome food scene.

The one week that I was there, oh man did we eat well. Watch the great badger game too over some stuffed burgers and tots.

Talked to a local who told me St. Pete was better than Clearwater.
Had a great time

Well, yeah.  As you might recall, I'm born, raised, and have lived my entire life in a Gulf Coast state... ;)
