    As a matter of fact Houston has the second largest Asian population next to LA. There are two China Towns. The original one is downtown and the other is located on Bellaire Blvd. There are 90 languages spoken here daily. Being larger than the state of NJ, we have 9 skylines around the entire metropolis including downtown and the TexMedCtr which is the largest in the world. Being founded by two brothers from New York, Houston is ranked second most fortune 500 headquarters. In terms of the Arts only Broadway has more theatre seats. Developers have the freedom to create. We even have a UK Upper Kirby with the red- London telephone booths and a Rodeo Dr. - Highland Village, River Oaks District home to President Bush 41. We are reportedly now the restaurant capital of the USA with more than 13K restaurants. Houston is also the Energy Capital of the world. NASA is another factor among many more that makes Houston the friendly GIANT that it is.

      I believe it. For DirecTv to use resources to have equipment for international tv services in Houston. I was a DirecTv technician and had a few international jobs. It was a pain tho...Had to put up 2 dishes etc etc lol. Mandarin tv...So I believe it.

    I always wanted to visit this place since a kid. Been everywhere in America except the inner states. Probably because i enjoyed watching Mcgrady and Yao Ming play Lakers in the playoffs years ago when i was in LA. A small kid at the time. Definitely different to home in London

    That monument was built higher than Washington monuments 555 ft, thus in defiance of federal law! It's a beautiful monument with the star on top. Back in 80s they claimed the monuments foundation was sinking because of subsidence in that area??

    @Maxime_K-G 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wide streets, simple building designs and few pedestrians. Doesn't seem very apealing to me but judging by the comments, most people really love the city. Could someone please inform me what I'm missing?

    • @nomadnametab
      @nomadnametab 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      it has anything a person would want. and people don't walk much, its hot and humid much of the year and distances are great. downtown there is an extensive tunnel system where people can go all over and even shop underground. the freeways are extensive , buses are far fewer than most major cities. the route taken doesn't show the areas around the big buildings of downtown. that is very compact compared to the whole city. the only other part of town with any such large buildings is the medical district and the greenway plaza area to the west and southwest. oh, and the transco tower on the west loop. its the tallest building west of the mississippi. it has a rotating spotlight on top. the places with more pedestrian traffic are in the neighborhoods around downtown. lack of much public transportation,distance and climate sort of make east coast style big city foot traffic not practical . there is always something to see and do in houston, and the houston metro area would pretty much fill up everything from london to birmingham. :) its sort of spread out .

    All of the negative comments are coming from those who live in cities where it's citizens are leaving in droves to become Houstonians and finally live the authentic AMERICAN DREAM so don't hate gather your things and follow them I promise you won't get lost just follow that trail leading to this Glorious Most MAJESTIC Emerald City of HOUSTON.
