Apparently, Houston's humidity was so bad last Feburary that it melted the hair of his nose, ear and eyelids to the extent that he couldnt smell, hear and see anything else but humidity!

There just envy of Houston. I know when they come to Houston they expect little, so they come and they are supprised with what they see, so they go back home, and even though they enjoyed their time in Houston they try to make the city look bad so it will make them feel good about there own cities, and also to make people not want to visit.

Apparently, the problem is that, once established, it is very hard to shed negative reputation, especially in American media. The media has a habit of blowing things out of proportion. By the way, most of the more widely distributed material describing Houston (such as the books from Frommers, Fodors, Discovery etc) portrays the city generally in a positive light. For example, according to Frommers, although Houston is not considered a tourist city, most visitors are lured into playing tourist once they are here.Houston still has a long way to go before mainstream opinion of the city changes. As I mentioned in another thread, it seems that strong positive factors, such as a popular tourist attraction, that overshadow its flaws such as humidity could that. For example, do you think anyone would pay attention to San Antonio if didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
