If Houston was a person, would it be mentally unstable? No, think about it... Houston often boldly displays the characteristics of a manic depressive personality. It can be bright and sunny and you think everything is good and then in a matter of 5 minutes it can go pitch black and the waterworks start. In the case of this week, it can be warm and inviting and in a matter of 24 hours you can find yourself driving to work past a bank sign that boldly proclaims a temperature of 38 degrees! Talk about the cold shoulder!
Ok, let's step out of this for a second..... 38? 38!!!?? WHY must it be 38?!! Would it be too much to ask for to have some sort of transition between 85 and 38? Ok, back to the blog...
Houston lures you into a false sense of comfort.. you think you understand it's patterns and then you find yourself inching along the ramp from 610 to I10 only to find that it will take you an hour to get to Silber (for those non-Houstonians, Silber is the first exit and less than a mile from the start of the ramp... sorry that happened to ya Kim) So why would anybody want to live here? I thought I would throw together a quick list of why it's worth it....
-People are more real here. No shiny mask of wealth or effort to constantly be keeping up with the Joneses (go to the Dallas Galleria and you will truly understand the meaning of living outside your means)
-You can go to almost any restaurant in town in jeans and at least half the people there will be dressed the same
-Memorial Park, nuf said
-GREAT TexMex, great food in general
-Houston's First Baptist Church
-Hermann Park
-Miller outdoor theater
-the Stros
There are many more that i'm not going to go into, but check this out if you are more interested.... http://www.houstonitsworthit.com/default/readwhy.asp
p.s.- this whole post started as a way for me to say that I'm cold.... i'm cold :)
