Houston Neighborhood Fake Names

Sudden Valley?

 

you can't win. Either the Gangs or the hippsters will take the upper hand in controlling the streets. word is bond.

 

I heard the area near 288 and 59 referred to as Midtown

Rocket River

 

In the two years I lived near Old Spanish Trail, I only heard that area referred to as Yellowstone once. And I was like WTF das a nashinull parc.

I've heard Neartown before. I think that is there to stay.

Never heard any of the others.

 

Neighborhoods come and go, and its all branding. But strong neighborhood brands really benefit the city.

 

EaDo bugs the hell out of me.

 

As someone that grew up on a lot of Houston rap, Yellowstone was the only name I ever knew for that area.

 

I've lived in Houston for 40+ years and I've never heard of any of these names.

 

I've been here 25+ years & I've never heard most of those names, either.

Uptown I always thought was that Galleria area, and midtown was the area inside the loop, between the the galleria (uptown) and downtown. When people say they're going to midtown, they usually mean they're going to like Washington, or River Oaks.

 

Before moving to Nevada, I lived in Lizzle Chizzle (lay-people call it League City).

 

League City will always be The LC (or just LC if you're in a hurry).

As someone who grew up on a lot Scandinavian metal, the names of Houston neighborhoods never came up.

 

As someone who grew up on a lot of gangster polka, the only name that ever came up was the "bloody fifth."

 

Washington Heights? Who even says that? I've never heard of it. Neartown? lol.

 

I've heard Neartown before. The only time I ever heard EaDo was from CrossFit EaDo.

 

STFU, the closest you've been to 5th Ward was on the 59 elevated over I-10 and the tracks while going to your spoiled rich neighborhoods.

 

my nizzle!
