Pieces of Houston.

Houston gets a bad rap (wrap?), it's true.  With it's sprawling land area, lack of public transportation & less-than-impressive weather I can see where the reputation declines.  However, I have found a place for Houston in my heart, for if you keep your eyes open you will find there really is a lot to love about this muggy metropolis.  A few treats...

The city is full of sculptures & urban art.

Each neighborhood has its own identity.  Example:  Upper Kirby (with its charming faux British phone booths).

There is never a shortage of witty business owners.  The marquees are always entertaining.

During my tenure in this fair city I continue to find more delightful qualities.  Carry-on, H-town.

Have you heard of the book "HIWI" (Houston, It's Worth It)? I need to bring it over if you haven't seen it.
