Things to do in Houston?

Just that one time is all I know about.

You should probably keep your "opinion" of Houston to yourself since you don't seem to know what you're talking about.

My opinion is all that matters, at least to me anyway.

I lived Montgomery and worked in the houston area for 4 years, that was enough.

When my wife and I moved, I was so glad to be out of that rat race.

Never heard of it, where is this Houston at?

If you're cruising on I-10 or 45 you pass through it. Blink and you'll miss it.

The next time you go to the bathroom and wipe your butt, that brown spot on the toilet paper is houston.

 

[GrumpyMan]

No the brown spot is Dallas, now the whole toilet is Houston.

LOL, I like that.

There is no way I would want to live in houston, too many people, too many roads, too much concrete.

To each their own. I would rather go to the deer camp then go to nasa.

Sounds like you wouldn't like any major US city. How is Houston any different?

every time a toilet flushes in dallas, someone in houston ends up drinking it

dallas is full of $30k millionaire douchenozzles.







speaking of toilets, the borders of the 3 counties that make up the golden triangle profiles a toilet. gg beaumont.

Blasphemer, you have probably never been to the golden triangle, much less know what you are talking about. There is a reason why its called "the golden triangle", because everything is golden and beautiful.

Keep in mind, everytime I flush my toilet, it goes down the sabine river and out through the ship channel at sabine pass. Then the gulf current carries my crap to the bay of houston.

Why do you think the water at galveston is so brown?

I went to Houston last summer for a vacation. I would stay away from Moody Gardens. That place was week and the paddle boat ride was lame. Like somebody else said, the food there is great. I was lucky and had some friends there take my wife and I around to local places. If its warm enough I would go to Schlitterbahn. It is an awesome water park. We spent a whole day there and had a blast. The sunburn I had afterwards though was very painful but well worth it.

Actually we get all our drinking water from Lake Houston, so we get to drink all the shit that people in Humble, Kingwood and the northside in general flush down into it. And Galveston's water is brown because of all the left over brown gravy and rue, that is thrown into the Mississippi by those cajuns.

Just an update. I must say that Houston is absolutely not like what I would thought it would be. I although I was born in STL I grew up in Southern NH. So my impression of anything in Texas as a New Englander were very much stereotypes. Like me and my dad thought we would see cows everywhere, cowboys everywhere, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, horses etc. Yea we knew Houston was a city but there must be a lot of these stereotypes here too right? Wrong!!! We saw almost nothing of what we thought we would see. Everything is big especially the freeways and interchanges. And the area of the city is huge too. I have three Aunts that live in Houston and it takes no less that 45 minutes to get from one aunts place to another one. And the economy looks to be thriving down there. My aunts were laughing at me and my dad because we had such a different idea of what it would be like in Houston. I was quite impressed.

And yes I have to agree that the tap water is absolutely terrible down there. It has this awful smell to it too.

 

[hdeck]

don't know what tap water you were drinking, but mine tastes & smells fine.

Houston was a city I expected to stay no longer than 2 years. I've been living here going on 18.

 

[clamum]

I posted this same question several years ago when I was down there for work. I think most people basically said "There isn't a whole lot to do besides go to good food places to eat", lol. I'll see if I can find the thread.

this is true, there is no current way to get water from the trinity to houston. people from dallas like to talk though.
