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

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 Little Place
Over 16 years ago

Newcastle is a nice small town. It is situated on the west-central foothills of the Black Hills, and is located about an hour from major Black Hills attractions  More
