The biggest difference between TCU and SMU isn't money ... they are both loaded. It's that the Dallas "elite" feel like they have to always keep up their appearances ... so they do everything with abundance trying to show how fucking loaded they are.

Dallas is famous for their $40k millionaires.
So much this. Tequilla has Texas dialed in. The rest of the state would love to redraw the Oklahoma border just east of Ft. Worth.

Fort Worth is the Tacoma of Texas, for better and worse. I love FTW, but that's because I'm a hipster douche.
Dallas has some burgeoning hipster douche areas (Oak Cliff!), but FTW is just kind of better overall (especially if you're form the PNW). Japanese gardens there are dope, the whole museum district is dope and there are some legit bars and Mexican restaurants.
Speaking of...
I should actually amend my 'Go to Texas if:' to say "Go to Texas if: you want your future self to be a 40 year-old driving a Tahoe using 20 year old Spanglish slang talking to Mexican waiters like you're cool with them, safe in the knowledge you have voted republican since you turned 24."
Dallas has cocaine, fancy chain restaurants full every night of the week and a lot of Bentleys. It's not all bad.
I always thought of FW as Portland and Dallas as Seattle.
FW is exactly what you expect from the region, it's very texan, it has alot of cool arts, bars, vibe, condensed in a small area.
Dallas is a way bigger, busier, and more industrious version of FW with all the same cool aspects, they're just spread out across a larger area.
but from the outside, people probably can't tell the difference.
bonus response: Waco is Eugene, a backwater town with alot of nut jobs that are a little too extreme for their own region and absolutely embarrassing nationally. They now have shiney new helmets and think they can market themselves to becoming football royalty.
Waco isn't all bad. Personally I enjoy the Dr. Pepper Museum. A nice family atmosphere.
Plus you can eat at the Luby's where that mass killing happened about 25 years ago (only an hour away), and tour the ashes of the Koresh compound. Also a nice family atmosphere.

That wouldn't be such a bad day except for the fact that you are, you know, in Waco.
Only time I ever stopped off in Waco was when driving from Dallas to Austin and there is a Hooters on the side of the road. Anything past the access roads off the freeway was way too much Waco for my tastes.

I once went to a Sonic there. The bible verses bumper stickers to cars ratio approached one.

Then you caught Waco on a bad day. Normally is closer to at least 1.5:1.

Dallas I look at as the new money and more of the East Side Bellevue view
Ft Worth being Tacoma makes about ZERO sense to me
