The real Houston
Over 2 years ago

I moved to Houston from the San Francisco Bay area in 1991 after college but I have always had family here. Houston is not what you think of when you think of Texas  More

There's definitely lots of jobs/economic opportunity. It's quite racially diverse if that's your thing. Houston has awful urban sprawl. Expect awful traffic. Hot as hell  More

Over 15 years ago

Rockland is a great town from July through mid October. Lots to see and do, culturally and environmentally but "cooler along the coast" is so true. Naturally  More
