Worst commute to downtown - Farfield, I mean Fairfield. It isn't that bad of a commute, if you work at Prairie View A&M, otherwise I would knaw my wrists before I would drive that daily.

Worst suburb for retail choices - Fall Creek area. Yeah, it's closer to downtown than a lot of places, but that does nothing to nudge you out of this category.

Worst suburb to be in without a GPS system - Hands down the Woodlands. Some of the secondary arteries are loops so when you are going down a main street you will pass the same street name twice. "Oh, you turned on south Woodsy Piney cutesy trail Road instead of north Woodsy Piney cutesy trail Road a half mile further up." Congratulations, you are screwed & are now lost in twisted cul de sac hell.

Worst image for a very nice suburb - There are actually some very nice upscale Clear Lake area suburbs that lie within Pasadena city limits. Yes I know better than most that Pasadena isn't as bad as it's Pasa-get-down-dena, "where the air is greener" misunderstood image, but it has gotta suck constantly explaining you are in the nice part of Pasadena none the less.

Worst commute to not get what most people commute an hour for - The Spring ISD sections of FM 1960. Yes, there are beautiful neighborhoods out there and wonderful trees within them, but you don't commute an hour from town in traffic to get under-performing schools, older houses that are at the age and stage of needing system and cosmetic updates & main drags like FM 1960 that make Telephone Road look positively scenic.
Oops - I must say this is the DEFINITIVE serious post - excellent analysis.

Woodsy Pinesy Cutesy Trail - HILARIOUS!!!

Both.

Worst for Simon and Theodore: Alvin
Worst for black homeowners: Bellaire
Worst for short, scrawny teenagers that can't catch: Katy
Worst for people who like to get to work within four hours: The Woodlands
Worst for drivers who roll their stops: Meadows Place
Worst for bad spellers: Atascocita
How is Diabetics related to SL
What is wrong with African-Americans living in Bellaire? I thought it was Vidor.

Some of the stuff is stereotypical.
Katy is known for educated folks.

I thought Deer Park is a classy town?
