That's great Cloud, we're better than the third world.

Cloud · 01-03-2010, 11:23 PM

that's not it.

Blah...insult all y'all want. I love Texas, and I love Houston. Yeah, that's right. I love the city that's one of the most polluted, has lots of cancer, and whatever else bad you can think of. However, it is a metropolitan city with a diversity of culture and ethnicity, which leads to a wide variety of food and entertainment. Unemployment rate isn't as high as other cities and homes are affordable. That is why people are moving to Houston.....cuz it's a damn good city to live in!!

God, you know what would be awesome? Commuter light-rail between Austin, Houston, and Dallas. This would improve my life in so many ways.

She sounds like a gambler who's into Texas hold'em.

I have actually visited Texas and like it once I get out of the northern part. I heard some great music in Austin, ate some terrific Mexican food in San Antonio, as well as doing the whole River Walk thing. In Corpus Christi I bird-watched and stuffed myself with fresh caught shrimp. The Texans I met were nice friendly people.

I worry about my friend, though. She has lived in dinky little Cortez (pop. 10,000) her entire life and doesn't have big city smarts. And I can't believe she's going to make a living selling bar classes with ads on them. We don't have anything like that here - not even in Denver. Do ya'll actually drink out of painted glasses?

East Texas is nice... rolling hills with cattle and trees. I spent some time there when I had to leave the grassy knoll in Dallas rather quickly.

Austin area is much prettier in my opinion.

Texas is a great state. Don't knock it til you try it. Oh, and it ain't all that flat. I like Texas, except when they play Oklahoma.

Tulip · 01-04-2010, 10:33 AM

Texas is a huge state, so each city varies greatly and has its own flavor.

morethanpretty · 01-04-2010, 01:36 PM

Texas is more progressive than outsiders might believe too. For example Houston has a gay mayor

Quote:

Her election made Houston the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor.

I suspect as our population becomes more urbanized and more non-Texans move here we will drift farther to the left. We won't necessarily be left, but more to the center. Which would be nice.

The Hill Country North of San Antonio is beautiful. I could live there if it wasn't so far from the ocean.
