  1. I was referring to our technological achievements during the modernist era. Houston has not experienced a growth period quite like the 1960s and the 1970s since. Here are the architectural, scientific and political achievements made in that era: -- Astrodome, 8th Wonder of the World -- Pennzoil Place -- Galleria (first indoor ice skating rink) -- One Shell Plaza, Texas Commerce Tower, etc. -- Moon landing / Rapid Growth of NASA/ Received the Moniker "Space City" and "City of the Future" -- Barbara Jordan elected to office -- The expansion to the MFAH by Mies -- 1971 Establishment of MD Anderson as a national cancer center -- Construction of IAH which made Houston a major transit hub in the US -- Population boom of the late 1970s Although you guys are all right, Houston has grown by leaps and bounds since then as well with its growing immigrant communities and local businesses.
