Thread: Houston..to live..or not to live

I'm from Corpus Christi, the sparkling City by the Sea. We've got the beach, we've got North Padre Island (which comes in 2nd place in Texas Spring Break, right after South Padre Island).

But most of all: We don't have Houston.


Now I'm not from Houston or Dallas so let me sort this out:

Houston has crime, traffic, pollution, U of H in the middle of the ghetto, the 'stros, the ::chuckle:: Texans, good public transit, rude people like NY, nice suburbs. The women are diversified, the big parties go on in Houston, but it has a shitty concert venue.

Dallas has the crime, less traffic, a shit ton less polution, the Dallas Cowboys, a higher cost of living. The women in Dallas are way hotter and there's a better live music scene. The big parties go on in Houston, the baller parties go on in Dallas.

I think of Houston like the asshole of Texas: It's got a real important function to the state (the port), but other than that, it's just filled with a bunch of shit. :9

Don't take offense, I personally would rank Houston below El Paso on my list of cities I'd like to hang out in.

Correct. Heat index in summer has gotten to 120 at one point here. Sad thing is, the index was that high and the temp was in the 90's. Humidity is straight up nasty.

Yeah, she gets around, go ahead...say it.

So I poop on NOLA all I want.

My family is one of the few civilized groups here. My dad is from Oklahoma, and moved to Louisiana when he was around 26. I get my civilized side from him. If you ever met me and person and heard me talk, Louisiana is the last place you'd think I'd be from. Anyhoo, I'm surprised your wife actually left LA. Usually if any woman is born and raised in Louisiana, you can't get her to leave. BTW I'm in LaPlace, 25 miles outside of new orleans.

One question, Where did you get your big screen TV?

I didn't drag it through the water by the power cord during katrina if that's what you mean. LOL.

if you looking for a job in accounting ATL is the place you wanna be. My cousin has MBA in accounting and he makes six figure in ATL.

The only thing Houston has on Austin is NASA and pro-sports. Frankly, I think it's going to be a long while before Austin gets any major league sports, but San Antonio Spurs aren't that far away.

Austin has the best nightlife, hands down. And UT? That's a hard school to beat in any aspect.

I like going to Houston, best strip clubs ever.
