That's the Winston-Salem, High Point, Greensboro, Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Spartanburg, Greenville, Atlanta megalopolis for those of you in the cheap seats, by the way.



Once upon a time, Dallas and Forth Worth rarely even thought of each other except for brief moments of longing and reminiscing on a romance that was never meant to be... and look where we are now with the Metroplex. Likewise, Connecticut and New Jersey never even sent cards at Christmas in a purer time long, long ago, and now they're part of the Tri-State Area. Things change and regions grow together. When they do, they get a name.

1. Dallas and Fort Worth are much closer to each other than Atlanta and Charlotte.

2. Jersey and Connecticut are part of the NYC CSA, much bigger than themselves.

So yeah, no correlation.
