> I had a professor some years ago who summed up Atlanta perfectly for me - "[...] it's the biggest small town in America". My friends and I regularly make similar comments about Dallas. I very rarely meet someone new without finding out that they are somehow connected to somebody I know. Sayings like "Dallas is the world's biggest small town" and "I know I shouldn't be surprised, but how do the hell do those two know each other?" are common utterances among people I know. Also, for people I have a ton of oddball connections with, "Dallas is the world's biggest small town, and it's all [name]'s fault".
