Small town feel, with nothing to do
Over 18 years ago

Love this town...been here my whole life. Close to Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, which are small cities with things to do, but not the most entertaining, cleanest, safest  More

The real Houston
Over 3 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

Not a great place

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
