    Again, having muscles alone does not attract beauty. It's practical and functional like the city, but little else. You assuming they define aesthetics show the lack of nuances that led to Houston being an "ugly city" and the kind of people settled in it.

    A good city, but the ugliness can't be denied.

    For 5 months a year, the average high in Chicago is under 50 and the low is freezing or below for 5 months a year. Pick your poison.

    Trust me I don't want to live there again either.

    But Houston is pretty freaking hot in the summer.

    I really like the Hermann Park area and so does my wife. She's from Toronto so Houston was an adjustment but she's liking Houston more and more.. There are decent places in Houston. We're not Vancouver.. Lol but we have jobs and a decent standard of living. I ain't moving.

    I'd rather stay inside and crank that AC, than deal with snow and ice. Or just move to San Diego.

    May is generally a good month. June and September are wildcards. July and August are insufferably hot as balls.

    No I haven't yet, but I'm sure we will meet someday. True Rocket's fans tend to come across each other.

    I've made it known here over the years this city sucks and ugly. This is just a place where you get your check and go on vacation 6 times a year at least.

    you just don't appreciate what you have. she is like that artsy girl with the glasses and overalls who you made a bet with your dbag friends that you could transform her. then, you take off those glasses and she is a dime piece.

    I saw you posted that. That would have been awesome. My favorite meeting thus far has been with heypartner. Really cool cat!

    No offense to Mr. Clutch, and everyone who has done community service with my wife and I.

    Not exactly a cheap place, Vancouver. If there weren't extenuating circumstances, that's the one place I would move to in North America (if Trump gets elected all bets are off though ;) ).

    I agree with most, Houston has some really, really nice spots, especially inner-loop and out in the burbs around the lakes/parks/coast. Really miss the ethnic makeup of the city the most, I think.

    The humidity always killed me though, I am so much happier on a 106' dry day in Central Texas than I ever was on a ~95' day with ~90% humidity on the coast.
