dalparadise Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I feel sorry for anyone who wears his assessment of his home as a cesspool as a badge.I don't know what part of Houston you call home, but I don't live in a gritty cesspool. I live in a vibrant city, where I can afford a nice lifestyle ans am afforded many amenities for ejoying that lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I feel sorry for anyone who wears his assessment of his home as a cesspool as a badge.I don't know what part of Houston you call home, but I don't live in a gritty cesspool. I live in a vibrant city, where I can afford a nice lifestyle ans am afforded many amenities for ejoying that lifestyle.Me too. I don't really believe this city is a cess-pool of anykind - I was just poking fun to the perceived image that is attached to Houston. Whether true or not or simply exageration, that is what many outsiders believe our city is like. I make fun of it now because it keeps me from getting so defensive about it. (I used to be that way, defending Houston against her ney-sayers to the point of being rediculous). I do believe, however, that there is quite a bit more grit here. And I kinda' like it to be honest with you. The whole East End for example. You would be hard pressed to find another city that offers such a massive concentration of industrial grit and the undeniable feeling of "city" as that place. It's beautiful in a Drakonian sense. It's almost art to me. When things are too cleansed, planned, and predictable, it just gets a little boring. But hey, that's just me.On a more positive note, has anyone seen that Arby's commercial with the river-dancing Monkey's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDave Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 There is a clear difference in the 2 cities. You can feel it. Austin, Houston, and Dallas all feel different. There is a different attitude in all 3 cities. Trying to apply a wholesale change in categories - like U.S. cities versus European cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
