The Fortune Global 500
Tory Gattis over at Houston Strategies has the lowdown on this year's Fortune Global 500 corporate rankings and, as usual, Houston fares quite well, ranking 10th globally with over $326 billion in Global 500 revenues.
Interestingly, the top four cities -- Tokyo, Paris, London, and New York -- have over a trillion dollars in Global 500 revenues. Houston ranks third in the U.S. with six Global 500 companies headquartered here. A quick glance at the list indicates that the DFW metroplex has five, although both Ft. Worth and Irving have more Global 500 companies (two) than Dallas (one).
Update: Tory follows his first post up with this one about Houston leading the list of cities with the fastest-growing companies.

Ft. Worth has less traffic, a better cost of living, and better cultural amenities than Dallas, too. And yes, I'm from Ft. Worth.
