Houstons downtown is 60 miles/over an hour away from from Gulf of Mexico.

Really coastal isn't it?

Chicagos downtown is right on Lake Michigan, as is a large part of it's metro area, same thing with Cleveland and Lake Erie.

I've got it ...

The Great Lakes are the North Coast, and the Gulf is the South Coast.

Doesn't that make everyone happy?

Just as coastal as sitting on a lake.. now you have to define coastal.

We actually refer to it as the South Coast as well.

Great Lakes; North Coast; Fresh Coast

Gulf of Mexico; Gulf Coast; South coast

Los Angeles isn't right on the water either. It sits almost as far inland as Houston does. I guess LA isn't coastal either is it?

BTW DT Houston to DT Galveston is 51.34 miles according to Mapquest so it would be about 50 miles to Seawall Blvd.

Lived in Maine for 20 years, never seen a Palm tree there either, so it must not have any Coastal areas either then using this poor reasoning.

What a tard!

DT Los Angeles is about 15 Miles from the Pacific, but parts of the city limits touch the Pacific.

DT Houston is 50 miles inland from the Gulf. A small portion of it touches the Galveston Bay.

So both of you are wrong.

And calling someone a "tard," how "klassy" and ironic

I'm sorry, but that would be down right depressing to live on a coast & not see a palm tree in sight for hundreds of miles. I think I'll pass on that one.
