DaTrain Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Black Enterprise put Houston at #4 for 2007 as among top ten cities for Black folks to live, work and play. The others are: (10) Jacksonville, (9) Columbus, (8) Indianapolis, (7) Charlotte, (6) Dallas, (5) Nashville, (4) Houston, (3) Raleigh/Durham, (2) Atlanta, and (1) Washington, DC. H-Town was #1 back in 2001, it dropped to #5 in 2004 due to violent crime rate rising slightly back then. B.E. Article on Houston (May 2007 edition): http://www.blackenterprise.com/cms/exclusi...en.aspx?id=2876 Blogsite on opinions about the top cities: http://www.blackenterprise.com/polls/exblog.asp?id=2868 (They messed up when they accidentally put the Dallas skyline pic instead of Houston's pic linking to the article above.) Hooray for the Chocolate City of Texas! And BET did a similar list and is still evaluating 20 cities including Houston; I'll post it on HAIF soon whenever that is finished. If I remember correctly, Houston made #2 on BET's last list back in 2002 right behind Columbus. Edited April 28, 2007 by DaTrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Interesting how most are smaller obscure southern cities with the exception of a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
