Rachman Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 ive been to houston and it has no soul. No-one lives IN Houston. It's a city centre with nothing in it apart from a few office blocks and a shopping centre next door. Try outside it - there are 8million people there - just don't live near the docks unless you like the smell of oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberider Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 ive been to houston and it has no soul. inclined to agree with you there... but hey you can't have everything houston IS rather bland, but it isnt too bad.... the museum district and parts of downtown are rather nice and there are some good restuarants and bars. galveston is nicer, it isnt too far and it has that breezy, salty seaside town atmosphere that i like... pleasantly ramshackle and authentic, apart from that big f*ck-off super walmart built right on the beach pre-katrina we would spend weekends in new orleans or surfing in surfside/padre island etc - all close enough to make it a worthwhile trip not a bad place to live. compared to places like detroit it's paradise No-one lives IN Houston actually i did, on portland street just off montrose very pleasant it was too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nijo Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Houston wouldn't be my first choice in the US... but I guess that's why it's cheap. I tend to like cities starting with "S". BTW: http://www.city-data.com/top11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
