  • You can't see across the street for the thickness of the smog.
  • Instead of watching NFL Football, you watch "The Great Escape" but aren't entirely sure why.
  • The local "Barbecue" joint, and I use that term generously, has a full page "vegetarian" menu
  • The women are amazingly beautiful but with fewer blondes and slicone "enhancements"
  • The vehicles are tiny
  • There are NO parking spots, compact or otherwise
  • As opposed to a statue of a somewhat unpopular one-term president that everybody knows about, you see a statue of a hugely popular historical figure that you've never heard of.
  • Mexican food here is baaaaaad. How in the name of Guadalupe do you have Mexican food with no beans?
  • Bluegrass music is not played here ever, I'm pretty sure there's a law. Country music is rare. Dance music and R&B are everywhere. You dream about XM Radio.
  • Gas is over 4.50 a gallon
  • Restaurant servers barely acknowledge your existence.

I am in Texas and the "Restaurant servers barely acknowledge your existence" is true here.

Clockwise, regarding your fourth point--the most beautiful women I have ever seen are in Texas, and I have lived lots of places. Name a place with more beautiful women. Those in Southern California have been altered by plastic surgery or worse. Nothing is more beautiful than a natural Texas women. Nuff said.

You can buy liquor in the grocery store, and on Sunday.
There are off-track horse race betting parlors.
You need your jacket on Memorial Day weekend!
The Japanese food is really fresh and authentic.

Not everything outside of Texas is bad, and there are actually some good things in other states!

LOL, I just don't get the fixation with Mexican food on these threads. IMO, most of it is bad unless it's homemade by someone's abuela or tia in her own kitchen! (But no way will I touch ANY menudo!)

You just have to know the right restaurants, teatime! And seeking them out is a pleasurable occupation in and of itself.

I take it that you didn't live in Houston when you lived in Texas. Because a lot of what you wrote about there is seen here in Houston too.
