Let’s face it, I45 isn’t the only thing that separates Houston and Dallas. There are a lot of things that are different about the first and third largest cities in the great state of Texas (guess which one is first). It probably seems real easy to look down on Houston from Dallas, considering on a map they are above us and all those super fancy over priced high rise condos. But we all know the facts, Houston is better than Dallas. Here are 99 ways that prove our point. [EDITORS NOTE: It was really hard to trim the list down to 99.] (See As We Our #HoustonIsBetter Plane Flew Over Cowboys AT&T Stadium)
