... years as a resident of the city of Houston, which thus far, has been a pleasant surprise!
While there is the occasional 'OMG,We live in Texas!' moment (Case in point: Cops on well fed Texan horses with cow boy hats in the middle of a work day in downtown going about doing their business as usual), Houston has been a city with a lot to offer... culture, drama, diversity, art, GREAT FOOD, people... sometimes eclectic, sometimes traditional, sometimes annoying, sometimes conservative, sometimes surprisingly bold and always so cosmopolitan! To me, it has been the city which has something for everyone to offer - find your 'clique' and live with it!
Ofcourse, like all big cities, there are many things that need to change...
but two things are true:
1. Here within the 'loop' as they say is 'pretty cool'
2. The city has a marketing problem and could use some stepping up in selling its goodness!
