I was in Houston for a couple of weeks in 1982 and I coudn't believe what a dump the place was! Mattresses, burned out cars, tires, boxes, and other trash just laying around on the side of the interstates!

The humidity is terrible with that heat, dam I am glad I live in Cali.
Thank you!
Geez guys, at least someone said something positive. I must agree we have a lot of construction and potholes!!! but I live in it and have to deal with it. I don't go downtown if I don't have to and pretty much stay on the hwys. True about Lee Brown who didn't do anything for the city!
Hey wallstAL, today everyone is talking about the GREAT weather we have here
wanna come back? but then.. I can understand Cali w/no humidity!

And you wonder why the vehicle of choice in this city is a pickup truck or SUV? In addition all the residential neighborhoods are requesting speed bumps half of which are too high and all seem to smack the air dam. You never know how bad the roads are in this town until you drive them in a vette. Simply unbelievable!!!!!!!!
