Official Houston thread that isn't on the Texas Board

I can't wait to show her around town

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll be working at Hermann and LBJ so I'm trying to find a place that'd give me good access to both. I'm also painfully single so I need to find a place that allows me to get out a bit. The place I'm looking at on Buffalo Speedway is right near 610. They told me midown is being gentrified, I'm just thinking if I'm going to buy something for my first house I don't know if I want to take that much of a risk.

 

I live in The Heights. Fun area.

 

You'll hear this from time to time, but its usually from people who have only been to the outskirts of houston (katy, the woodlands, spring, etc.) and not the actual town. I can't possibly imagine living out there. It seems like it would be cookie cutter suburb hell.

 

I live in near champions (spring/woodlands area) and it's not.

 

When some of you young 'uns start having kids, the idea of a nice neighborhood with 5000 sf houses in a good school district becomes a little more attractive.

 

Well yea I get that aspect of it, I'm just saying for anyone single and 20-30 it would probably be not a whole lot of fun

 

inside the loop for life.

 

i am in meyerland. close enough.

 

It's usually from people who drive from the airport to their destination, and then back. Getting a few blocks off the freeways is essential to embracing the city. It's a big fucking place. That's like going to NYC and never leaving the subways.

 

It's raining like a bitch

 

Raining in mourning of Biggio not being a first ballot HOF'er

What a joke

 

GRADE A BULLSHIT

 

bags and bigg should be elected same year. May have to make a Cooperstown trip if that happens. Such much nostalgia
