Houston is creeping on Chicago's population, pennants, and now, public art. But Chicago has at least one thing Houston still lacks.
In the battle between Houston and Chicago over which is better, Dallas lost. Dallas lost by a lot.
“Dallas is a Cheesecake Factory with a sidearm,” tweeted Charlie J. Johnson, the homepage editor for the Chicago Tribune, casually ethering a city of 1.3 million.
