If you would’ve gotten off at the Louisiana St./Downtown exit, that would’ve put you in the heart of Downtown Houston, like where all the skyscrapers are. You have to drive for at least a couple miles on Travis St. before you get to Central Houston.
Hi, I have really bad driving anxiety driving to new place. I am going to downtown Houston for the first time and the maps is telling me to take exit 10 woodway drive or 47b memorial but I like the route you are on now which exit do u take?
+Lisa S Houston is the first biggest city in Texas. People here are absolutely friendly. I have lived year for almost 20 years now and I am so happy for it!!!!!!!
Good video sir. Im not into elevators at all but I am into highrises/skyscrapers(though your elevator info is interesting). As a Dallas native i've always been impressed by Houston's number, and height of skyscrapers. For me though seeing downtown Houston wasn't a big deal(kinda feels like a slightly larger Dallas) What blows me away is the number of skyscraper clusters OUTSIDE of downtown. Uptown,TMC,Greenway. Just like their own cities. Dallas has a few bldgs 25+to 42stories outside of downtown D (not including our uptown which is booming) But VERY few. You could count them on one hand.(though our Galleria/Tollway area kinda looks like Houston's Uptown minus the Williams tower) But Houston has them EVERYWHERE and under constr.. haha! which I find so cool no other city like it. Houston will always have more skyscrapers but watch out for your little bro Dallas cause he's starting to look good too.) A 45 and a 53 story in the works for uptown.:p
JasnoGT Dallas won't go past Houston's skyline limit of 75 floors (JPChase Morgan Tower - Tallest in Texas), and not to mention the several new projects in the Houston downtown area, including some new 60-80 floor skyscrapers and the entire reconstruction of the i45, i10, and highway 59.
I've already had this conversation multiple times with multiple posters. Not gonna do it again. First of all there are zones in downtown Dallas with NO height limit. The Perot/Hillwood/HOK project is one of them. Preliminary designs are already complete. I am completely aware of what Houston has built/is building. Unfortunately it sounds like you are not aware of what Dallas is doing right now. Please do your research. A good place to start is Skyscrapercity or Emporis.com. Thanks.
ChromeAmazing I love both cities. No hate against Houston. Dallas has always in a way modeled itself after its bigger older brother. Both cities sprawling scattered cityscapes are unique. Something most northern cities dont have.
Ok when yaw say houston huge is it city limits city proper ? Because if so Jacksonville Florida is ginormous huge waaaaayyy bigger than houston at 850 sq mi city limits
Die Zexyy Bear yea I see ... Jacksonville is 1.6 million in metro by the way ... still far less than houston tho ... not 900k ... almost twice that almost ... but yea houston seems humugus like a true behemoth a super mega behemoth .... how many miles would you say it's dimensions ???? I googled it and look at it's maps from what I read and see ... I say Sealy to just right at beamount ... from Galveston or Bolivar peninsula to prairie view or new Waverly I say it's well over 150 mi by 150 mi
First I have seen of your videos and I love this one. Have you ever driven in MI! None of the roads there are smooth. When I visited I drove on I75 and holy Toledo, that road was like a Dirt road in certain area's.
Houston is the size of San Antonio and Dallas combined. Huge place but a hell of a city. Love the place.
Dallas is bigger though
Vmann123 Houston is the 4th biggest city
Slime Ball Dallas has a bigger metro area. It’s ranked #4 for metro areas
@@Thirdwardwolf He’s talking about city population and land area not Metro Area yes DFW is bigger but Houston Metro alone is not far behind 🤘🤘🤘

This is one of my favorite videos so far
Great video! I'm taking a road trip to Myrtle Beach next summer!! I might film some elevators.

Which part of Houston do you live in?
@@JimLiElevators sugar land
According to my GPS map, it says to take the exit on 129B and merge onto IH-69 North.
Does Houston have a great downtown? What are the people like in Houston, TX?

Die Zexyy Bear and do you think it's most sprawling in the world ??? Or U.S.A ??? Is it more sprawling than L.A ??? What do you think ???
***** No I don't. My parents take me there.
Thanks for the trip round Houston, looks like a nice place. PS why are you eating at Mcdonalds? I hear Houston has the best Texas BBQ
The best restaurants period as far as quality, selections, and prices!
Thank you for this video
My aunt lives in Houston TX
Heh, Highway 59 is pretty long when you consider it to go across the nation
Nah. It actually stops in Texarkana. Still though, 59 does seem really long.
***** US 59 continues all the way to Canada.
