blackaeronaut Wrote:Dallas is a major financial center in U.S. Lots of money and business run through the city. Generally, when it comes to finance, media, banking, and general business, it goes from NYC to LA (or vice versa) and then Dallas. Major federal and international government buildings are also in Dallas, instead of Austin, including more than a dozen consulates and embassies. (Austin has TWO, according to the Internet.) The southern end of the I-35 corridor (which includes Fort Hood in Temple/Killeen and all the other facilities that BA mentions) may have the military facilities, but the power is in Dallas.Quote:Bob Schroeck wrote*blinks* Why Dallas when San Antonio is the city with all the military facilities? Kelly AFB, Lackland AFB, Brooks AFB, Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis... probably well over 200 sq. miles of military land. Granted, IRL some of these facilities have been shut down or repurposed, but in IST world... I can easily imagine Kelly having been leased to the UN for use of a super team instead of being converted to commercial real estate.Quote:United States of America: Washington, DC, Anchorage, Dallas, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York.
