This week, a fresh study conducted by Preply, a leading company, has unveiled a delightful revelation: Six Texan cities have gracefully clinched spots on the list of the nation's friendliest urban havens. This study, a symphony of insights from 1,200 individuals spanning our vast nation, embarked on a quest to pinpoint the paragon of kindness among cities. The heartwarming results from the Lone Star State unfurl are as follows: Austin wears the crown at numero uno, while San Antonio claims an admirable second place. El Paso radiates warmth at the third spot, Fort Worth confidently holds its ground at number seven, and Dallas waves from the eleventh place, leaving Houston with a twelfth-place finish within the state.
Amusingly, the ensuing trio of cities that graced the bottom of the national list - Boston, Seattle, and Philadelphia - seemed to have missed the memo on friendly vibes. Now, let's turn our gaze back to the heartwarming Texan tapestry. Beyond securing the respectable seventh slot in the overall ranking, Fort Worth garners additional accolades for its friendly prowess. This gem flaunts shining bright at number eight for "most commonly practiced friendly gestures nationwide." Notably, this includes the affable habit of greeting passersby in public, a true embodiment of Texan warmth.
And that's not all – Fort Worth proudly snags four more feathers in its friendly cap by excelling in tangible displays of goodwill. It lands at an impressive fifth place for actions like holding doors and elevators open, showcasing Texan hospitality through volunteering, and extending a helping hand by offering to carry belongings for a fellow stranger. These wins reaffirm what we've known all along: the Lone Star State isn't just a state; it's a hospitable haven where friendliness thrives. So here's to Texan charm, stay kind, give to others, or give to us at Jack by following our socials.
