I lived in Houston, Texas from 1979-81. There were two things I could not stand about that town. First, I really hate racists, and Houston seems to have more than their share of them, regardless of the race of the person who is racist in their views. I was being stared at with scorn by non-whites, and some whites were always shoving a flyer in my face, asking me to "Wake up!" and join the Ku Klux Klan. Secondly, Houston has a well-deserved reputation as being "the most air-conditioned city on Earth." During the summer months, I would have to change my shirt at least four times a day, carrying 3 extra clean shirts in a plastic bag in my car with me, "just in case." One time, just walking from my car in a parking lot to the entrance of a shopping mall, my shirt became so soaking wet from the humidity that some folks in the mall asked, "Is it raining outside now?" Thunderstorms in Houston are always violent and lengthy. In many areas of the country, rain is light and you can go out, briefly, without an umbrella or a raincoat. Not in Houston. Your clothes will be drenched to the point where you will look like you had just gone swimming in a lake, fully clothed. +5

well i REALLY dont know about the racist part ive been living in the nearby suburb katy since i was born, but its VERY hot and humid, it has a ghetto feel.... i dont reccomend it if youre going o be walking around a lot. Dont worry about the violence it just SEEMS dangerous, its not. Go to Oahu, Hawaii much better i went there last year the locals are so polite ;)

what is it?
