People have said the same thing about Houston, which would make more sense considering it is a port city. But anyways I dislike conclusory claims based on word of mouth and no evidence. Who cares which is the official "HUB" anyway?

Reminds me of ESPN commentators getting in heated arguments over which quarterbacks are "elite". Even though everyone has their own special definition for elite and all the quantifiable facts relating to it are dynamic and changing all the time. The conclusions of arbitrary definititions like which is QB "elite" or which is city THE "hub" are meaningless and unhelpful.
