I hope it happens even though it doesn't sound like it would be very long. From San Felipe to I-10 is a rather short stretch. I'm just not going to get excited about it until there's an announcement from METRO.

It's really interesting reading those comments on Houston chronicle website.

Dallas is definitely the city that represents Texas. I live near Houston, but I have such a better time in Dallas. In my opinion Dallas beats Houston.

And as far as non-business dress, we look like rags compared to the people in DFW. Works for me, though.
Lol, no offense, but speak for yourself.

In fact, to be honest, it wouldn't kill some Houstonians to have a little more fashion sense than they do.

Dallas perpetuates the Cowboy/Wild West stereotype. Houston doesn't.

Yeah. Everyone knows that the Cowboy/Wild West stereotype title belongs to Ft. Worth.

Besides, both Dallas and Houston aren't concidered as "Wild West Texas" cities anyway. Dallas seems like an east cost city, and I think alot of Houstonians will tell you that Houston is a southern city, not a western city, like the other 4 major cities in Texas.

A lot of Houstonians will also tell you Houston is more similar to L.A. than a typical "southern city."

How is Houston similar to LA? I know some Houstonians who think of Houston as more a Southern city. Maybe it depends on your family background. If a Houstonian goes back several generations in Texas and before that, other parts of the South, then they will think of it as Southern. If their parents or grandparents came from elsewhere, they'd probably wouldn't.
