Yes, maybe sweetie doesn't want to talk about Houston since it is the armpit of the nation. Who goes on vacation to Texas? Who mentions Houston when talking about entertainment\ fun things to do? Most people react when somebody mentions Houston & Texas & it isn't very positive. Yeah our president's papa lives in Houston & suppose our Texas idiot president will return to where he knows he won't be challenged mentally [lots of incurious people in Houston]. Not a great place for "curious" kids since "creationism" is taught in public schools & teachers are allowed to spank/ hit kids.
Anyone been to Houston anytime of the year? Summer is swamp weather w/ huge bugs/mosquitoes. So humid nobody goes outside. In winter it is dreary w/ brown lawns & leafless trees b/c even though Houston is well south of Los Angeles it gets really cold since Texas is a flat state allowing freezing Canadian air masses to reach the gulf coast. So you can't plant tender palms & subtropical trees that flower in winter in California.
Houston the center of oil refineries that pollute the air & water. No other major city in the U.S. would ever allow such business so close to where people live.
Houston is where Tom Delay [Republican who left office in shame] lives & where some of the most radical evangelicals live & spew their hatred.
The saying is "don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house." Too bad sweetie doesn't think ahead & how he desperately doesn't want to draw attention to his own town & state [b/c for most Americans it is a place to avoid & fly over fast
That is true. Houston is a dump. Nobody goes to Houston to visit. Yet Houstonians seem to think they are the next Chicago.

I may not like LA, but at least it has world class culture and other good entertainment. Someone from a military dump like SD should stick to cities at SD's level, like Tampa or Orlando!

correction i do not live in SD anymore left that place long time ago for the Commerical industry.
Downtown LA is full of chicanos, but chicano culture, although based in Mexican culture is something different, kind of trying to compare spanish with portuguese, they both have the same root, but they aren't exactly the same.
I found LA cool, although too strict for my taste.
Mexico city kicks butt, the only flaw is it's heavy traffic, but it's a pretty cool city, that never sleeps, and it is full of interesting places, and things you'd never find in LA like the ruins of what was once of the most advanced cultures during it's time, or the classical buildings and neighboorhoods that were built during the colonial period that shed beauty and history, you also have ultramodern skyscrapped filled state of the art neighboorhoods that were just built, thousands of awesome museums, some beautiful natural parks, enjoy the murals that were created by world famous mexican muralists, you can go to one of those classical neighboorhoods and enjoy a nice weekend surrounded by beauty and nice people who goes to enjoy the ancient plazas.
