I've been to LA, SF, Chicago, New Orleans, & NYC. I still think Houston is the coolest city I've ever lived or been to.
Spoken like someone who hasn't spent much time outside of Texas. I believe your quote regarding your time in SF was something like: "I drove around it".

So, you stayed with relatives in San Jose as a child and they drove you through San Francisco. Awesome.

You can still see the St. Louis arch in the suburbs at least ~25 min drive away. Thats as far as I've tried to see it but I'm sure you can see from a tall building or hill even further out.

No, I have 2 friends who live in San Jose & my aunt used to live a stones throw away from the Golden Gate Bridge at The Presidio.

Before that she lived in Sonora.

With a state as large as Texas there is not much of a need or want to spend time outside of it.

Upholding the stereotype, I like it.

Actually, I think he does like SF, so that wasn't the issue. I just don't think he has spent much time here.
