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

Nice, quiet, and really, really off the beaten pat
Over 11 years ago

Liven in the area back in the 80s. Visited in 2008. The town has changed some. It's always been a nice, quiet, friendly town. It is really way out there, though.   More
