I have no idea why anyone on the OT would downvote a poster whose father had a whorehouse.

I can only upvote once my friend but I wish a thousand up-votes for you and your daddy.

And I wish to God you and I were in the 3rd grade together when dads came to talk about their jobs. He would have blown the shite out of the Finklestein shite kids whose dad was a Jew lawyer.

Bang a broad friend.

Springfield, Missouri also has a larger metro than Corpus Christi as well (459,000 vs 455,000)....although it doesn't have much of a skyline.

The one city in between them in size is Reno, Nevada.

I'm way late to this but Youngstown, OH

500,000 metro. Yet. No commercial airport because it's sandwiched between Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

No that title would go to BR. Most people outside of the gulf think it's a town of 20k people. Hell the majority of the US thinks he capital of LA is NOLA.

The only reason I know it is because we used to camp the coast and hold unofficial 4x4 races in the 4x4 only section.

It is pretty bad almost all around from what I've seen. If you live within 2 blocks of the beach it seems to be nice though.
