Houston, WTHDABLT?


For those of you not familiar with my use of Acronyms, WTHDABLT stands for Why The Heck Does Anybody Live There. It is amazing when you go to a town several times per year and no matter how hard you try, you have a tough time finding any redeeming qualities. The town literally sucks. Okay, make that figuratively. None the less, it really sucks. Reasons to hate Houston;


  1. W's Family Lives there
  2. Kenneth Lay's Family Lives there
  3. No cohesive zoning strategies (there is a rather large adult bookstore right next to the Galleria)
  4. No good radio stations (unless you like Latino, Hip Hop, or Country)
  5. Bums at every freeway exit (even in the best part of town)
  6. No sidewalks throughout most of the town (try running in Houston)
  7. The one "good" park has only 2.9 miles of running trails. This is considered awesome in Houston.
  8. Oh yeah, they only have one "good" park
  9. More big cars per square foot than you can shake a stick at
  10. Sprawly Sprawly Sprawl Sprawl. Houston is 600 square miles in size. Greater Houston is 10062 square miles in size. And all of it is ugly.
