NOLA, big time. Culture, charm, etc. I couldn't live there or in Houston because of the incessant humidity (which is already bad enough in N. Texas), but NOLA hands down. The only reason this poll is as it is - IS because of the tons of Houstonians on this forum. Look at the Texas forum and you'll see that San Antonio, then Houston have more people on this forum than any other of the large cities in Texas. CD is a haven for them, and they promote their cities with vigor. CD is like a chamber of commerce for them, lol.
Do you know me??? I just assumed you did because your just running your mouth as if you knew me and my intentions of starting this thread. Where do you see Houstonians boasting about their city and ****ting on NOLA in here??? It's been a pretty good running thread; don't ruin it.
New Orleans style food is so popular that even the side of the Popeye's chicken box says New Orleans style lol. Never once heard of something referenced as Houston style. Houston like most sun belt cities doesn't have a true big city life. Really NY & Chicago are good points of comparison as to if a place has a big city life or not. Please don't tell me Houston compares to either.
That's great and all but I'm saying that Houston has much to offer when it comes to cuisines. You will get better Mexican, Tex-Mex, and BBQ in Houston than you would in New Orleans. I know what type of city Houston is. It's still a big city with big city amenities. To stay otherwise is just false. It's not a small city. It's not a medium sized city. It is a big city and I would never compare Houston those cities as I prefer those cities to Houston anyway.
Most of the people from those cities subscribe to threads and have autobots out for when the words "Houston" appear, and they're on that thread like white on rice. You may think I'm joking but I'm serious.
And that's the sad part. I really do believe you're joking though.
You are certainly correct; it's about the same in both cities. But I have to say that it is NOT much better in the DFW area either. It's HOTTER here in the Summer but the humidity is slightly lower. The Summer here really sucks.
You should have been listeniing to Power 102.9 (Hot 104.5's replacement.)
Q93 sucks like any other Clear Channel station, although they do run a 2 or 3 hour program on Sunday evenings featuring only Louisiana artists called 504 Radio.
Right, right...I do remember 104.5 now! Thanks for the info.
Not in 2005 and NO hasn't been the murder capitol of the country since the mid 90s, I believe. From 1/1/05 to 8/28/05, Houston saw an increase in crime in just about every statistic imagined. Now in 2004 it was low. But in 2005 it was not and it was not because of Katrina.
Keep telling yourself that.
When you have several hundred thousand people in an already crime ravaged city fleeing to another city with an already above average crime rate the end result is a recipe for disaster & that's clearly what happened with the NOLA aka No Law Katrina refugee camp in Houston.
BTW where is Obama at now in helping Louisiana? This BP disaster is Obama's Katrina.

TIE. Honestly, if you didn't know that you were in Texas and if the accents, occasional cowboy attire, and giant lone stars were taken away; Houston could easily be mistaken for Louisiana.
here we go with the accents thing again.....lol
