I love beautiful Atlanta but fast booming Houston has learned a lot in the past decade, we have many more tall buildings now than Atlanta and Dallas combined with 22 under construction or being built. We have a wonderful new neighborhood called "Midtown" adjacent to downtown and Montrose filled with young professionals who walk, take the rail or even bike to work, Just last week, 3 buildings over forty floors started construction. The convention center has tripled the hotels in the city and the parks and trails going into the downtown area have been greatly improved with hundreds of thousands of trees planted. Our "Second" downtown" referred to as Post Oak, or the Galleria area is booming with skyscrapers, new places to shop, an improved Galleria Shopping Mall and many more places to walk to. It's taken a long time but the secret is out. Texas, especially Houston is the "Juggernaught" of the South according to Atlantic Monthly.

Beautiful Atlanta?

Houston has lined it bayous with trails which is nice. And Hermann Park is pretty impressive. The Galleria is like Lenox on steroids!

As if we need more Houston v. Atlanta talk; that topic's been beaten to death thousands of times on this site. It's a dead horse that needs to stay down.

Looks like uptown Houston is in competition with Cumberland or Perimeter in the North perimeter, or Buckhead, not intown Atlanta.
