I'm not really Hating on Houston, and I love Texas! I was just comparing city Souls. I was very proud of Houston taking in the Katrina victims. Houston has been my home for 15 years. This city is so Diverse that maybe that's it's identity and I just can't pick up on it. Offers so much to everyone that it has no self identity if that makes any sense. Maybe after the Oilers left town Houston lost something that it hasn't gotton back.
