Information on Houston.

Was on my way to explore Buffalo Bayou... then it started raining. Currently taking refuge in Lone Star Taco Co.

You haven't been to Austin in the last quarter-century, have you?

Eli

At least in Houston they actually have beltways and loops with more than 3 lanes. Austin's infrastructure development has been stymied by environmental interests, so has not developed according to growth. People still move here.......'cause Austin is so "cool" (sarcasm)

Bruh... these brisket tacos are a damn game changer. Also, they're playing Hank Jr, this place is bad ass!

Bruh????????.........here in Texas it's "pardner"

Okay, let me try it: shut the **** up, pardner.

Chortle.

If anyone is in the area and wants to stop by and hang out, I'll be at the 1820 lounge until the end of the game.

And you got that shit wrong too.

In Texan its "Bless yer heart"

If anyone is in the area and wants to stop by and hang out, I'll be at the 1820 lounge until the end of the game.

Have to admit, I do wish I was there.

What time are you picking me up????

Shoot me one my dude!

Didn’t realize we got into all that FSA mentality.

 

[CalifornianTexaboo]

Was out for a cigarette when Bregman got that homerun. Heard the park explode when we did at the lounge

I have a feeling you're not going to like Houston lol.

After experiencing Houston. I must say, it's better than Dallas. Though to be honest the area of town I was in wasn't one I would go back too. The Hostel I stayed in was nice and clean, the staff were friendly, and it was a cozy little place. The neighborhood had a nice Antebellum look to it. (Being a southernphile, I love that sort of stuff. Found myself whistling Dixie on my walks through) the thing that kind of killed it for me though was the people. Now, I don't know if it was just the area I was in, but it seemed like almost everyone I encountered wasn't from the United States. Which I really don't mind if it was one or two people here or there, but the fact I met around only 5 native born Texans was very strange to me. And the leftist environment was annoying, I get enough of that shit in commiefornia. I'm thinking about setting my sites to settle somewhere in the west. I want to be right in the middle of the chihuahuan desert.

 

[CalifornianTexaboo]

Another thing for certain: This trip has solidified my burning hatred of Californians. I absolutely despise all the fucking dipshits that come from this state and ruin everything around it. They ruin everything good in this country.

You’re not far off.
Moved to this part of Texas in the early 50’s.

It is notable that, looking around while stuck in traffic the past ten years, the neighboring drivers no longer look like you’re in America.

Yeah, well, Houston is the most 'diverse' city in America, and those that are adults and native are a rarity.

People who are from Texas born and raised rarely live in this area. Houston is a melting pot of all kinds and colors. Most of the good ole boys move out west into the country. I’ve been here for 3 years, and I can count on both hands the native born Houstonians I’ve come across

Rule of thumb.
If you can fly there non-stop from out of state, it's too big a city.
You'll need to drive a while to see the good places.

Yeah. I'm one of those that Ben mentioned.

I was watching a documentary last night filmed during a class about CRISPR and it's role in genetics.

The instructor's hair was completely blonde 1/3 in front and the back 2/3 dark. Both ears were filled with little hoop earrings...front top of his ears to bottom. Plus, his face in general was filled bits of metal. And of course the pseudo-cool guy obligatory tattoos on his arms.

He looked like an ass-whole. (misspelled deliberately)

When people past teenage years have a 'look at me - look at me' case of raging narcissism, I just shake my head at their bizarre instability.

How/when did looking like a mental patient become attractive to some dipshitz?

And Houston is now a magnet for these buttholes. They're everywhere insisting they aren't conformists, yet somehow, they all look the same tribe of dweebs...

I grew up in Houston, through college in the late 60's. The demographics have changed to those of a foreign country in the last 40 years or so. No one looks like me when I visit. But I do enjoy the shopping and restaurants. Lots of variety comes with the change.

There's been some interesting scientific research on why people who want to look different from normal wind up all looking alike. It's a fascinating phenomenon.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Yes, looking different just like everybody else....

Yep, nothing's really changed, except what's considered cool, or hot.

We had Hollywood flat tops, thin belts with pants worn low, and pointy shoes, for a while.
Later, cowboy boots, hat and plate sized belt buckles.

Then Uncle Sam beckoned.
The OD jungle fatigues weren't cool, or optional, but we did look like birds of a feather ...

More recently, still think the NCIS, forensic Goth chick is hot ...
