no doubt the TV show and the olympics boosted the profile of dallas and atlanta...
but ask someone in china or india or south africa about cities in the united states, and you’ll get new york and los angeles and then maybe san francisco, miami, orlando, las vegas, etc. chicago is well known but not for any specific reason. DC, of course, has a unique status as the capitol. seattle is now well known thanks to amazon and microsoft.
phoenix, dallas, houston, atlanta are just not globally prominent outside of specific industries they may have ties to.
