Yeah, just like coming up into Dallas on 45. Rather cringeworthy, but when you actually get off of the freeways, you get to see a lot of great stuff.

I too had to do a double take when I saw...um...Paula Quinn, is it? That was a cute little elementary school.

oh stop your exaggeration. The drive into Houston takes you threw Conroe, The woodlands etc. You drive into development for a good 25 miles before you get to TSU.

who you think you fooling with your nonsense. TSU is SE of Downtownv which is 15 miles from the NOrth Belt and another 10 miles from The Woodlands. Its not like you drive down from Dallas and then pop there comes TSU.

And I have been in Houston for over 12 years and yet to frown down on anything.

You've gotta love that Old South, New Orleans/Savannah/Charleston charm that Houston has a bit of, in some parts of town. Dallas can't pull that off.

Every city has its ugly areas. It sounds like you need to visit Houston becasue Houston's ugliness is really overstated on this forum. There are parts of Houston that are downright gorgeous and look just as good (if not better) than many areas in Dallas or Fort Worth.


I suggest you really take a good look at some of the pics Nairobi posted above.

Someone from hick Fort Worth talking about Houston's ugly?

I am glad you gave him each different parts of the city. He sounded so clueless with his ugly talk. Houston has so many beautiful neighborhoods as you just pointed out.

I really don't know who Kdogg hangs out with when he visits but from his posts he seem to only have friends in low places. Maybe he should tag along with JJG next trip. JJG always seem to have the better time here on trips

At least Fort Worth water is rated 2nd best in state... Houston is literally drinking DFW S**T these days....When I say literally I mean literally... It’s so fulfilling to know that when I take a dump I am providing Houston with a helping hand one turd at a time with its drought situation....
