Yup..I've been out of state recently, and most people I meet sometimes jokingly, sometimes not pretty much view Houston as a place they don't want to go to. They always want to visit Austin, some even Dallas, but not Houston. I think it's because of the humidity and sprawl. But I also met 2 people who had lived in Houston and said that it does grow on you....they learned to really like Houston. I'm still learning too, I guess. As for the image, I think the one thing Houston can really market is the international diversity. Most people don't know that Houston is very multicultural.

I moved to Houston in the 9th grade and attened a Cypress-Fairbanks ISD high school. I thought the building was huge....and unbearable. The classrooms are packed back to back with hallways separating them. There were no windows...only the art classroom and the portable buildings had windows. Even the big "common" area where you eat lunch has no windows. From the street, the building looks like a warehouse. I really didn't like the fact that there are no windows in the classrooms....felt like a prison. All the cy-fair ISD schools are like this. Are the other houston schools like this also?
