Houston makes ANOTHER top 10 achievement on another major search engine/magazine/whatever. Bash Houston all you want. We will silently keep churning out jobs and affordable living, welcoming anyone who comes here to make an honest living.

America's Top 10 Underrated Cities

"Houston is proof that everything is indeed bigger in Texas. While better known for its big business and energy interests, this sprawling underrated city also hosts top-notch orchestra, opera, and ballet companies, a dynamic theater scene, great museums, and the world-renowned NASA Space Center. Shopping reigns supreme here – you'll find a huge concentration of shops and above-par outlet malls – and its cosmopolitan restaurant scene expands upon the state's traditional Tex-Mex offerings. Bold and impressive architecture helps define the cityscape, too (including the mammoth Astrodome) making this fourth-largest U.S, city a true star in the Lone Star State."

Yeah Houston is underated compared with other places in the Sunbelt.

Minneapolis and Baltimore are ranked on here too so unlike most Forbes list this one actually has merit. I can personally vouch for both cities as being relatively nice places to live and visit as well.

When the prez is finished with us - you can probably scratch NASA off as an attribute. great outlet mall(s)?? One - right - or is it two - Prime Outlets in Cypress and Katy Mills......that's it. Sorry can't count Harwin - that's cheap knock-off crap.
